Closed captions wont go off

Jump to solution

Everything I play, the closed captions start. Even if I turn them off they come back on after a moment or two. I went into the main settings and it continues. Where do I go from here? It's annoying. We have 6 rokus and 2 roku TVs. Have not added anything for at least 2 years. This has been happening for at least a month.

Thank you

Hi @1556,

A warm welcome to the Roku Community!

Thanks for letting us know about the issue you've been experiencing with the Closed caption features on your Roku device. We're here to help.

If Roku's closed captioning doesn't turn off, you can check the system-wide settings. From the Roku Home screen, navigate to Settings Accessibility Captions mode and ensure it's off.

Please note that most channels and apps have their own settings and will override the settings in Roku menus. Check each channel's individual settings and turn off captions. Some channels manage their own content programming, including closed captions and subtitles on content. Reach out to the channel if changing the captions on the Roku settings does not resolve the issue.

For more detailed information, see this link: Turning closed captions on or off.

We hope it helps. Feel free to keep us posted, and we'll continue assisting you further.

All the best,
Chel
