How to remove filler words from your video

Say goodbye to your excess 'ums' and 'uhs.' ✂️

Filler word removal makes it possible to review your transcript and delete any unnecessary 'ums' and 'uhs.' You can remove filler words from any video of yours that has a transcript, including old videos.

Here's how to remove your filler words:

  1. After you've recorded your video, click Transcript from your video side panel. You'll see your detected filler words at the top of your transcript.

FAQ

What's the difference between removing text only and text and audio?
Removing text only will remove the filler words just from your transcript and closed captions, whereas text and audio will remove the words and mute their audio.
Does removing text and audio work no matter where I play or host a video?
Not always. If you select to remove text and audio, the audio will only be removed when you're playing the video in the web player. In some situations your video's viewers may still hear the audio for filler words. Such cases where audio removal is not supported are on Safari, when looms are downloaded, and on mobile (browsers and the app).
