Manage captions on TV & game consoles

You can select or change your caption settings on any TV, game console, or media device that supports YouTube.

  1. Pause the video that you’re playing.
  2. Tap Captions .
  3. Select the language you want the captions in.
  4. Select Caption style.
  5. Select the settings that you want to customize. You can change the font and its appearance. You can also change the background and window that the captions are displayed in.
Note:
  • If the video doesn't offer captions, might show but won't be selectable. If doesn’t show, captions aren’t available for that video.
  • If a video doesn’t have captions, it means the owner did not provide captions or YouTube did not automatically add captions.
