Use subtitles and captioning on Apple TV

If you prefer special accessible captions, such as subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH), you can set Apple TV to show them instead of standard subtitles and captions. You can also customize the look of subtitles and captions.

Note: Not all videos include closed captions.

Turn on Closed Captions and SDH

  1. In Settings Settings on Apple TV, go to General >Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning.

  2. Turn Closed Captions and SDH on (or use the accessibility shortcut).

    See Add an accessibility shortcut to Apple TV.

Customize your subtitles and captions

  1. In Settings Settings on Apple TV, go to General > Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning > Style.

  2. Choose an existing caption style, or create a new style based on your choice of:

    • Font, size, and color

    • Background color and opacity

    • Text opacity, edge style, and highlight

Note: If you connect a Braille display to Apple TV, it will continuously print captions and subtitles of a TV show or movie when captions or subtitles are turned on.
