How to Turn On Captions and Subtitles in a Streaming App

Caption and subtitle options are typically built into a streaming app's playback controls or settings menu, and can usually be adjusted for style and size as well as turned on or off.

Where to look

• During playback, check for a captions or "CC" icon in the player controls
• Check the app's general settings menu for a language or accessibility section
• Some TVs also offer system-level caption settings separate from the app itself

Adjusting appearance

Many apps let you change caption size, color, and background for easier reading — worth exploring if the defaults are hard to see on your screen.

If captions aren't appearing at all

Try updating the app and your device's software, similar to the steps in our guide on updating your Smart TV's software, or contact support if the option seems to be missing entirely.
