I try to press down but it goes to related videos.. press side arrow and it jumps forward. Help?
Hi @lol-47,
Thanks for keeping us posted!
This is an easy fix! Once you've played a video on YouTube, press down on your Roku remote and press up again. This will take you to the title information while the video is playing. Afterward, press the right button all the way to the gear icon and press OK. You will be directed to Settings, where you can select the "Caption" option to turn it on. The captions should now appear after these steps have been performed.
All the best,
Kash
Hi @lol-47,
Welcome to the Roku Community!
We understand that you're having a problem with your YouTube channel since it will not turn on the captions. We're happy to help. Please follow these steps:
If the problem still persists, you can try to select the subtitles and closed captions found at the bottom right of the screen when you play any content or videos.
Please keep us posted on what you find out.

My issue is not finding the caption button. It is figuring out how to press it. I press down and it takes me to recommended videos. I press any side and it jumps ahead or behind like 10 seconds. My brother somehow got them to turn on for one video but they’re back off and he doesn’t know how he did it. I tried turning them to always on in settings, but it doesn’t work. Thank you for the copy-pasted general “caption issues” reply though I guess
