How to enable subtitles on Peacock?
Enabling and managing the subtitles on Peacock TV is very easy and straightforward. In case you’re facing any difficulty with the subtitles, you are at the right place. Listed below are all very simple methods of making sure you have a smooth streaming experience along with subtitles. Subtitles come in handy when you’re watching a show in regional/foreign languages or when you’re in a crowd/public trying to watch a movie without the best audio support. On Peacock, you can customize your subtitles’ appearance too – you can change the size, font, and color. Try these to enable subtitles on your respective devices-
1. While streaming on your Computer/Laptop, click anywhere on the screen to open video playback options (at the bottom). You will see a text bubble icon in the left bottom corner. Click on that and a pop-up menu will appear on your screen that says- Audio and Subtitles. You can choose between the variety of languages available for a particular show/movie.
2. To view/enable subtitles on the Peacock TV mobile app, do the following:
Open the app and tap on the show that you want to watch. Now, use your finger to pause the screen or pull up the streaming playback options from the bottom of your mobile screen. Click on the text bubble icon and turn the subtitles on by choosing your preferred language.
3. If you’re streaming Peacock TV on the Firestick, you have to play the content video first and then click on the menu button on the amazon firestick remote. When the video playback options appear on your TV, navigate and click on the Subtitles icon. Now you can choose the language you want to watch the content subtitles in.
