Alternatively, you can:
- Press OK on your remote to bring up the video overlay.

Additional tips:
- If captions persist after turning them off on DirecTV, check your TV or other connected devices as they might have their own caption settings enabled that need to be turned off separately
- You can customize caption appearance (font, size, color) via the Menu > Settings > Closed Caption > Custom options on DirecTV
This process allows you to quickly disable closed captions on DirecTV services and devices.
