how to turn on cc on roku channel
Turn on captions on Roku by opening the show, pressing the Star (*) button, and choosing Closed captioning or Captions mode. Then set it to On always ; some apps may use their own subtitle settings instead.
Fast steps
- Start playing the video or channel.
- Press the Star (*) button on your Roku remote.
- Select Closed captioning or Captions mode.
- Pick On always.
If that does not work
- Go to Home > Settings > Accessibility > Captions mode and set it to On always.
- If Accessibility is not shown, look for Captions instead.
- In some apps, subtitles must be turned on inside the app’s own menu rather than Roku’s system menu.
Useful options
- On replay shows captions only when you press replay.
- On mute shows captions only when the TV is muted.
- You can also adjust caption style, like text size and color, in the accessibility settings.
Example
If you are watching a movie and the subtitles are off, press ***** , choose Closed captioning , and switch it from Off to On always.
If you want, I can also give the steps for a specific app like Netflix, Disney+, or the Roku Channel.
