A post on reelseo gives the basics on how to add closed captions to your Facebook videos with an .srt file.

Go to their instructions, but in a nutshell:  create a text file that follows SubRip closed caption style with numbered text blocks with timing codes in the format 00:00:10,000 –> 00:00:15,000  (which is down to the millisecond), save it with filename.en_US.srt filenaming style (for US english,) then upload it along with the video file under ‘edit video’ menu in Facebook.

Whew that’s a lot of work.
