How do I censor swear words in captions and audio?
3 min read · Updated October 30, 2026
Mask the word in the caption and mute only that word in the audio, not the whole sentence. Zlayo's Auto-Clip does both by default, and you can switch it off.
Make clean clips →Why creators do it
Some platforms and sponsors prefer clean language. Check the rules of the platform and the campaign you're posting for; this guide doesn't promise any outcome.
In Zlayo
- Captions, headings and text show a masked version of the word.
- The audio is muted only around that word's timing, with a small margin.
- Censoring is on by default and can be turned off in the Auto-Clip settings.
Questions
No automatic filter is perfect; review clips before posting.
Yes, turn censoring off.
