How to activate closed captions on Peacock Series

I’ve tried to get closed captions for viewing Peacock series. Nothing works. I can’t toggle Off to On.

Subtitles and closed captions should follow the device settings for that. It is generally not app-specific.

Note that Peacock names closed captions as ‘subtitles’, when they’re really two different things.


  • Defaults for any video on the Apple TV box:

Closed Captions: Settings﹥Accessibility﹥Subtitles and Captioning﹥Closed Captions and SDH﹥On

Subtitles: Settings﹥Video and Audio﹥Automatic Subtitles﹥On|Off

Settings﹥Video and Audio﹥Subtitle Language﹥Auto|«specified language»


  • Change subtitles or closed captions during playback:
