Hey there fellow Roku user! How is your streaming experience going? If you’re anything like me, you have probably developed a love\/hate relationship with those little words at the bottom of your TV screen. After all, why else would you be here learning how to turn off closed captions on Roku?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes I find them incredibly helpful, like when I’m trying to understand the quiet dialogue between characters, which can get drowned out by background sounds and music. And closed captions are your best friend when it comes to programming from other countries that are not in English. Michelle and I are obsessed with foreign language content. Thanks to closed captions, we have an entirely new genre of content to explore and enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then there are times when I find those words so distracting, like when I’m trying to watch a fast-paced action movie, I need them to be gone. Those closed captions always divert my attention from what’s happening, and I always miss some part of the fight scene or cool special effects. So whatever your reasons are, knowing how to turn off closed captions on Roku is worth learning. So, just like I taught you what to do when your Roku TV has no sound<\/a> with my easy-to-follow instructions,<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve got another Roku guide to show you a couple of ways to turn closed captions off and back on again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can turn closed captions (CC) on or off across all streaming services through Roku’s setting options on the Home screen. Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Caption Mode, where you will find the CC options: <\/strong>Off<\/em><\/strong>, <\/strong>Always on<\/em><\/strong>, <\/strong>On replay,<\/em><\/strong> and <\/strong>On mute <\/em><\/strong>(on newer devices). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To turn CC on or off just for the particular title you are watching, press the Star [*] button on your Roku remote control while playing to open a pop-up menu with the same CC option. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Turn On Closed Captions on Roku<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
