# Move YouTube Subtitles Out Of The Way
The thing about following along to any kind of programming tutorial on YouTube
is that current thing being typed, whether into the terminal or an editor, is
eventually going to be toward the bottom of the screen. If subtitles are
enabled, which they mostly are now that they can be auto-transcribed, then they
will appear on top of text being typed.
It's nice having the subtitles, but not if they are constantly covering up the
current focal point of the video -- the latest line of code or command being
typed out.
YouTube's web player allows you to grab and drag the subtitles anywhere within
the player. So, once they start being in the way, you can drag them up to the
top of the screen and continue to follow along.
