Three ways people use it
Following a podcast
Audio plays in the YouTube tab. Captions float over your editor. You read along when something interesting catches your ear.
Studying a lecture
Lecturer's voice in the background while you type into your notes. Glance at the floating captions when you want to catch the exact phrasing.
Watching a long talk
Captions stay visible while the talk plays out — you don't need to keep the YouTube tab in view.
