How To Turn Off Closed Caption On Roku

Ever been watching your favorite show on Roku and suddenly, words pop up at the bottom of the screen? It happens! Time to make them disappear.

The Quick Fix: Your Remote is Your Friend

Grab your Roku remote. It's about to be your magic wand. Let’s banish those unwanted subtitles.

During playback, press the asterisk (*) button. It's usually on the right side of your remote. A menu should pop up!

Look for "Captions" or "Accessibility". Select it, and you'll see options to turn captions off. That's it!

Sometimes, the asterisk button doesn't work. No worries! Roku's settings menu is your backup plan.

Go to your Roku's home screen. Navigate to "Settings". You might have to scroll down a bit to find it.

Find "Accessibility". It may also be called "Captions" or "Closed Captioning." Click it!.

Here you'll find options to customize or turn off captions.

Look for "Caption mode". It probably says "On". Click it. Then choose "Off"!

You might also see options like "On always" or "On replay". We want “Off”!

Some channels have their own caption settings. It’s like each app has its own rules.

While watching content on a particular channel, pause. Look for a settings or options icon. It's often a gear or three dots.

Inside the channel's settings, hunt for "Subtitles" or "Captions". You might have to dig around a bit. Switch them off!

Still seeing captions? Don't panic! We have a few more tricks.

Sometimes, a simple restart fixes everything. Go to "Settings" > "System" > "System restart". Your Roku will reboot.

Believe it or not, your TV might be displaying the captions. Grab your TV remote. Look for a "CC" button or a "Subtitle" setting in the TV's menu.

If all else fails, a factory reset is your last option. Be warned: it will erase all your Roku settings and channels!

Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Advanced system settings" > "Factory reset". Follow the on-screen instructions carefully.

Sometimes, you just want to enjoy the show distraction-free. Or maybe the captions are covering important parts of the screen.

Whatever the reason, you now have the power to control those pesky subtitles. Enjoy your viewing experience!

Now you are armed with the knowledge to silence those subtitles. Go forth and enjoy your Roku!
