subbing
Filling another's role
Subbing is acting as a substitute, especially filling in for someone temporarily: I'm subbing for the regular teacher this week.
In publishing and journalism, subbing means copyediting or working as a subeditor.
Online, subbing often refers to subscribing to a channel or service, or adding subtitles to video content: I spent the weekend subbing anime.
