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

  1. Start playing the video or channel.
  2. Press the Star (*) button on your Roku remote.
  3. Select Closed captioning or Captions mode.
  4. 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.
