- Select "Captions" and then choose "Off" to disable them
On YouTube (as a content creator):
- Log in to YouTube Studio.
- Go to your videos, select the video, then click on "Subtitles."
- Delete the published subtitles to prevent captions from showing for all viewers
On Android devices:
- Open Settings > Accessibility > Hearing or Caption preferences.
- Toggle off the "Live Caption" or "Closed Captions" option
On Smart TVs or streaming devices (e.g., Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV):
- During playback, press the remote’s subtitle or CC button.
- Select "Off" or "None" to disable captions
On Windows 10:
