What this report answers

Which YouTube channels use auto-dubbing?
Is dubbing common in my category or language?

The full report covers 15 categories, rebuilt every week, most recently from data as of 7 Nov 2026.

How this was made

Channels we track with 10,000 or more subscribers that pass the sanity checks of the rankings (the ranked set). It is not all of YouTube. A channel adopts dubbing when at least one of its videos carries an automatically dubbed audio track. Audio tracks have been collected since 2026-09-09, for the videos the crawl has reached so far. The language is the channel's own spoken language, not the dub language.

The audio crawl was aimed at videos likely to be dubbed, so these are counts of adopters found, not adoption rates. They grow as the crawl reaches more videos.
There is no adoption trend yet: YouTube adds dubs to old uploads, so a video's upload date does not say when its channel started dubbing.
Categories and languages with fewer than 100 adopters are left out.
