Closed Caption Catastrophe: How to Turn Off Subtitles on Hulu Live and Save Your Sanity (and Sanity of Your Pets)
Ah, subtitles. Those trusty text companions that can be a lifesaver when you're watching a show in a language you barely understand (we're looking at you, dramatic Korean revenge flicks). But sometimes, those helpful captions turn into closed captioning chaos. Maybe they're just a tad out of sync, lagging behind the dialogue like a toddler chasing butterflies. Or perhaps they're possessed by a rogue spirit, transcribing every bark from your dog into Shakespearean sonnets. Whatever the reason, you've reached your limit. You need those captions gone.
Fear not, fellow Hulu Live adventurer! Here's your battle plan to banish those pesky subtitles and reclaim your viewing experience.
Dispatching the Subtitle Squad: A Guide for Various Devices
On a Mission with Your Mobile Device (iPhone, iPad, Android):
-
Initiate First Contact: While your show is playing, tap the screen to bring up the control panel. It might look different depending on your device, but don't panic! Just look for the gear icon, that universal symbol of settings.
-
Seek Out the Hidden Lair: Once you've tapped the settings icon, you'll be presented with a menu. Look for the option titled "Subtitles and Captions" or "CC".
-
Deliver the Final Blow: With a triumphant tap, select "Off". Those captions will disappear faster than a free slice of pizza at a party.
Conquering the Living Room with a Streaming Device (Fire Stick, Roku, etc.):
-
The All-Powerful Remote: With your trusty remote in hand, press the up or down button to access the on-screen menu.
-
Navigation is Key: Look for "Settings" or "Options" and navigate your way there using the directional pad.
-
The Caption Conquering Combo: Once you're in Settings, find "Subtitles" or "Closed Captions". Use your remote to turn it "Off". Boom! Show those captions who's boss.
Desktop Domination (PC and Mac):
-
Clickity-Click: While your show is playing on the Hulu website, click anywhere on the screen. This will bring up the control panel.
-
The Gear that Matters: Look for the gear icon (because apparently, gears are the universal symbol for settings across the digital universe). Click on that bad boy.
-
Banishing the Text Terrors: In the settings menu, you'll likely see "Subtitles" or "CC". Click that option, and then select "Off". And just like that, your screen is caption-free!
