ROKU users...close Peacock, restart the app, wait a few seconds and it will work.

There is no option on my PS4. It says none when I try to put on the subtitles

Problem I have on the Xfinity device is that peacock subtitles are too small. Went online too and nope.

Subtitles are not staying on I have to enable them every time I watch an episode!! This is ridiculous does Xfinity have something against people who are deaf? I have even enabled The closed captioning On the Xfinity streaming box and still it’s not fixed the problem!!!

Works perfectly, thank you so much. It was driving me crazy!

Just a note, you can also adjust the size of the subtitles/captions. I usually find the default caption size too large and disturbing. So I prefer smaller subtitles/captions. If you go to *Settings > Device Preferences > Accessibility > Captions* . You can scale the size of the caption to suit your needs. Make them smaller or alternatively, make them larger. FYI Just an extra level control over subtitles. 😉

It is amazing that Comcast cannot come up with something better than this for Closed Caption; Subtitles. They need a lesson from Netflex. Am watching "Mistress of War". Had closed caption for the first 2 episodes. Now it is spotty and maddening, and understanding it is very difficult.

Felt so dumb for not being able to figure out, thank you!

2:00 pm and it still is not working! It use to but stopped about a week ago! I can't get a hold of Peacock! No phone number!! Can you help???

[teimosia]

Just did and it was very easy. Thank you!

I found it very challenging trying to access that subtitles option box in order to enable it. Kinda weird accessing it🥴 but I'm happy to know how do it now thanks to your video. Thank you🙂

It works as you showed, however not as subtitles/translation, only as captions (same as language spoken). Watching a movie in Spanish the captions were in Spanish as well, with no option to select English. Don’t understand how/why Peacock shows foreign movies without translation. If anyone knows how to add actual subtitles please post.

Where I am supposed to go to for subtitles on my television is above after I pause the movie, and although I see a checkmark for subtitles, and I depress OK to uncheck it, it remains on off

[marches]

This didn't work. "OFF" shows below English, that is not showing on your video...I can't figure out how to turn off to on...Im watching Girls5eva. Can you check to see if you can get it to work on that show?

[grlygirl]

I can't do this on my TV though... when I pause it, and down arrow to the captions option, it skips past that and goes to other shows to view.

Im trying to watch a movie using the Peacock app on the PS4, but the subtitles aren't available. There is only "None". However, it works when I try on my MacBook...am I the only having this issue? It's not all movies, just some of them, like Bridesmaids.

Thank you it was driving me crazy I couldn't get it off there

[stubbornfilly]

I found out how to put the subtitles on.Can you please explain how to make the subtitles bigger. My subtitles are very small and I can’t figure out how to make it bigger

[sherryelston]

Peacock is definitely a strange bird.... I followed the instructions, several times, no captioning. Finally I decided to try turning them on "Spanish"...and I got Spanish captions. Then I went back and switched to English and it actually worked. Don't know why I had to turn on Spanish first, then English, but it worked....for now. All the money we pay for cable, streaming, etc you'd think they could have control options easily understood.
