Enabling subtitles and captions on the Netflix platform involves accessing the audio and subtitles settings within the playback interface or account settings. The process varies slightly depending on the device being used, whether it is a smart TV, web browser, mobile app, or streaming device.
Accessibility features like these enhance the viewing experience for a wide audience, including individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, those learning a new language, or viewers who simply prefer to follow along with dialogue. Historically, closed captions were primarily broadcast on television and required a special decoder. Modern streaming platforms have integrated captioning directly into their interfaces, making them easily accessible.
