A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Subtitles on Apple TV

Select a Video

Picking a video on your smart TV or device like Apple TV might seem hard because there’s so much to choose from. The starting point? Just pick a video to watch. On Apple TV, you can look at the videos you’ve bought in your Library or type in the search bar to find something new. Some videos let you pick a language for subtitles or the words at the bottom of the screen.

Here’s how you do it on Apple TV: Go to settings, then click on “audio & video.” Next, pick “closed captions + SDH.” Here, you can turn subtitles on or off, change how they look, and pick a language if there’s an option.

Most other smart TVs or devices that let you stream videos will have a subtitles setting too.

Don’t forget: the first thing you need to do is pick a video on your TV or device’s main page. Then you can make changes like adding subtitles.

Press and Hold the Select Button

Once your video starts, if you want to see the subtitles options, press and keep holding the select button on your remote. A subtitles menu will appear, showing different language choices.

Some companies might ask you to pay extra for certain languages, so make sure to check that.

Enjoy watching with subtitles! And if you change your mind, you can turn them off or switch languages using the same steps.

Pick Subtitles or Audio

Want subtitles on Apple TV? It’s easy. When the subtitles menu is open, pick either “subtitles” or “audio.” Then, select the language you want for sound or words at the bottom.

This is really handy for movies in other languages or if you have trouble hearing. And if you don’t want subtitles anymore, just go back to the menu and turn them off.

Choose a Language

Having a hard time understanding what’s said in TV shows or movies on Apple TV? Subtitles can help. To turn them on, open the subtitles menu with a long press on the center button of your remote.

Then, pick “subtitles” or “audio” and choose the language you want. Now, watch and understand better!

Remember, subtitles aren’t just for understanding better. They’re great for people who can’t hear well or are trying to learn a new language. So, the next time you’re watching on Apple TV, think about using subtitles for a better experience.

Benefits of Subtitles on Apple TV

Apple TV gives you a choice: watch movies and shows with words at the bottom of the screen, or don’t. But why should you think about turning on subtitles? Here’s why:

1. Better Understanding – If there’s too much noise around you, or if someone’s talking in a funny way, subtitles help you know what they’re saying.
2. Inclusivity – Makes sure everyone can enjoy and know what’s happening in the movie or show.
3. Learn a New Language – If you’re trying to learn another language, subtitles can help.
4. Help for Those Who Can’t Hear Well – People who have trouble hearing can still enjoy movies and shows.
5. Better Watching – Don’t miss out because you didn’t catch a word or a key moment.

So, planning a movie marathon? Remember, subtitles can make it even better!

Changing Subtitles on iPhone or iPad

Want to tweak subtitles on your iPhone or iPad? It’s not hard. Here’s what you do:

1. Open the ‘Settings’ on your device.
2. Tap on ‘General’, then click on ‘Accessibility’.
3. Now, choose ‘Subtitles & Captioning’. Here you can change how the subtitles look.
4. If you want, you can also pick a different language for the subtitles.

But remember, some apps might not let you change subtitles from the settings. In those cases, you’ll need to do it inside the app. Also, sometimes a movie or show might not have subtitles at all.

But with just a few touches, you can make subtitles on your iPhone or iPad look the way you want, and have a better time watching.
