Hey there! I’m here to help you learn how to turn on or off closed captioning while watching Amazon Prime Video on your Apple TV. It’s super easy, so let’s get started!

First things first, let’s talk about closed captioning. It’s a feature that displays text on the screen, providing captions for dialogue and other audio elements. This is particularly helpful for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, but it can also be useful in noisy environments or when you simply want to read along.

To control closed captioning, you’ll need to access the settings. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Start by opening the Amazon Prime Video app on your Apple TV. Look for the app icon and give it a click.

2. Once you’re in the app, find a video that you want to watch. It could be a movie, TV show, or any other content available.

3. While your video is playing, swipe downwards on the Apple TV remote touchpad. This will bring up the video options menu.

4. In the video options menu, you will notice a row of icons at the top. Using the touchpad, swipe right until you come across the “CC” icon. This is the closed captioning option.

5. Tap the “CC” icon to open the closed captioning settings. You will see different options to customize your closed captioning experience.

6. To turn on closed captioning, select the “On” option. This will enable the display of captions on your screen.

7. If you want to turn off closed captioning, choose the “Off” option instead.

That’s it! You now know how to easily enable or disable closed captioning on your Apple TV when watching Amazon Prime Video. Remember, closed captioning is a fantastic feature that enhances your viewing experience, whether or not you have any hearing challenges.

Now you can enjoy your favorite Amazon Prime Video content with or without captions. Happy watching!

If you’re a fan of Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV, you’re not alone. Millions of people use these services to stream videos. Whether you use them separately or together, you can access a wide range of content. But what if you have specific needs? Can you use closed captioning on Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV?

The answer is yes. Both services offer closed captioning (CC) and you can enable it on one or both of them. If you prefer to use Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV instead of separately, it’s best to choose one and stick with it. I’ll cover all the bases and show you how to use closed captioning on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Then, you can decide which option works best for you.

Closed captioning is a valuable feature for people who are hearing impaired. It provides a text version of the audio track in a TV show or movie. Similar to subtitles that translate the audio content into other languages, closed captioning is beneficial for those who are hearing impaired or prefer to watch media at a lower volume.

How to use closed captioning on Amazon Prime Video

To use closed captioning on Amazon Prime Video, you need to configure it in your browser first. This is where you can customize your Amazon Prime Video settings, regardless of the device you use to stream it.

1. To start, go to your Amazon Prime Video account on a browser.
2. From the menu, select Account and Settings.
3. Choose Subtitles and Edit.
4. Customize the settings to your liking and click Save when finished.

Once you’ve configured your subtitles, you can easily enable or disable closed captions while watching an Amazon Prime Video stream.

1. First, play the media you want to watch with closed captions. Make sure the CC symbol is displayed.
2. Select the Menu and then Subtitles.
3. Switch Subtitles to On.

Keep in mind that not all Amazon Prime Video content will have closed captions available. Look for the CC icon to confirm. If you don’t see the icon, you can still try the steps mentioned above to see if it works.

If you want to check the subtitle or closed captioning options for a specific film or show, you can always look at the preview section on Amazon Prime Video. Each show has a details section that provides key features and information about the show.

How to Activate Closed Captioning on Apple TV

When it comes to using closed captions on Apple TV, it’s actually quite simple. You have the option to use the Apple TV application or the Apple TV device itself. To enable or disable closed captions on the device, just navigate to the menu and make your selection. If the content you’re watching is compatible with closed captions, they will automatically appear on the screen.

1. First, I want you to select the Settings icon on your Apple TV. It looks like a little gear.
2. Next, you’ll see a list of options. Choose General and Accessibility.
3. Now, look for the option called Closed Captions and SDH. Toggle it to the on position.
4. Finally, just close the menu and you’re all set!

These steps will turn on closed captions for all the streams on your Apple TV. It will automatically play them as long as the stream has closed captions available. If you share your device or don’t always want closed captions, I’ll show you how to configure Apple TV to play them on a per-stream basis.

1. First, start a stream on your Apple TV.
2. Next, grab your remote and select the Info panel.
3. In the Info panel, you’ll see an option for Subtitles. Toggle it to the on position.

If you have one of the newer Apple TVs with Siri, you can also ask Siri to turn on closed captions for you. Just say something like “Siri, turn on closed captions” and it should do the trick.

To turn on closed captions using the app on your Apple TV, all you have to do is navigate to the search option at the bottom of the app. Type in either “accessibility” or “closed captioning” and you’ll quickly find the setting you’re looking for.

Using closed captioning on Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV

If you like to watch Amazon Prime Video on your Apple TV, using closed captions can be a bit tricky. While both Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV support closed captions, they don’t always work perfectly together.

Because Apple is known for their user-friendly approach, it’s probably easier to use Apple’s closed captions instead of Amazon’s. You’ll likely have a better experience that way.

If you’re having trouble getting closed captions to work properly when watching Amazon Prime Video on your Apple TV, here’s what you can try:

1. First, open your Apple TV menu and select Settings.
2. In Settings, choose Video and Audio.
3. Make sure Subtitles are turned on.
4. If the language is set to English, turn subtitles off and then on again.
5. Finally, close the menu and repeat Steps 1 and 2. Then, double-check that subtitles are on and the language is set to English.

I’ve got some good news – it seems like the issue with closed captions has been mostly resolved. Although there was a known problem that was supposed to be fixed a while ago, it still pops up from time to time. If you’re having trouble with closed captions not showing up or not displaying correctly, I’ve got a fix for you to try out.

Closed captions are really important for people with hearing impairments, which is why most streaming services support them. Whether you’re using Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or even Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV, I’ll show you how to get those closed captions working properly.

But what about subtitles?

Well, subtitles are kind of like captions, but instead of providing text for people who can’t hear, they translate the audio content into another language. There’s so much great international content out there, but what do you do when your favorite show or an interesting movie isn’t available in your native language?

You’ve got a couple of options: you can either learn a whole new language or check if there are any subtitle options available.

Now, Prime isn’t exactly overflowing with content that has subtitles. But don’t worry, there’s a quick way to find what you’re looking for. Just use the search bar at the top of the Amazon Prime website and type in “Subtitles [language].” It’ll give you a list of movies that have subtitles in your chosen language. And if you’re after a specific movie or TV show, just search for it and check the details section under the ‘Watch Trailer’ option.

As for Apple, they make it easy to see what subtitle options are available in iTunes. When you find a title you want to watch, scroll down to the “Languages” section. There, you’ll find a complete list of the languages you can choose for subtitles.

If you’re searching for specific content, the good news is that you’re in luck if it has the right subtitles. But suppose it doesn’t, no need to worry. There are numerous websites and apps available online that can help. Although I haven’t done extensive research on them, there’s a chance you might stumble upon some fantastic options.
