How to Turn On Closed Captions on Paramount Plus Across Devices
Closed captioning offers flexible and inclusive viewing when you’re watching an international film or have difficulty hearing. At Paramount Plus, closed captions are included in their accessibility features across a wide range of devices. From computers and smartphones to streaming sticks and smart TVs, you can turn on captions with just a few clicks. While steps may vary slightly by platform, they all provide access to basic subtitle settings and closed captions controls.
