Its the option on youtube to speed up or slow down the videos. It appeared and the Closed Caption option disappeared.

Perhaps versions of Roku and/or YouTube TV might have changed for other people (maybe? Not sure). I still see four items when I use the down arrow to the CC menu: ‘Captions Off’, ‘CC1’ (which produces active captioning), ‘CC3’ (no idea what that does) and ‘Edit Style’.

 Mines just YT. But I think the change was made on their end.

solved yet you have to enable it each and every time you watch a video rather than working like the desktop version of youtube where you can simply set it for good for any given youtube account. yet another example of poor implementation by google ?  seems like a trend lately

I’m an idiot. I expected to press the off, and have it change to on. Selected English, and my CC is now on!

Will these steps work just for that one program or will it then work on all until turned off?

Hi @Elle-Sea

Thanks for posting here in the Community!

For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact YouTube TV support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves.

You can reach out to them here: https://support.google.com/youtubetv/gethelp

All the best,

The FCC Divides Responsibility for Closed Captioning Between VPDs and Video Programmers. Under the rule, video program distributors (VPDs) must ensure that closed captions make it to broadcast, but video programmers have the responsibility of providing high-quality closed captions.
