Twitter released an update that shows captions/subtitles on videos.
When you watch a video, you will see the captions displayed at the bottom of the video.

The feature is helpful when you’re not in a quiet place and you want to listen to the audio of the video.
However, they can cause irritation sometimes and as a result, you might want to turn them off.
For instance, captions (CC) might block the main parts of the video.
In this post, I will guide you on how to turn off or on captions on Twitter videos.
How to turn off captions on Twitter videos
- Go to Twitter and log in to your account.
- Go to the video where you want to turn off the captions.
- Now, tap on the “CC” icon.
- It will turn off the captions!
Most devices show the “CC” icon at the top right corner of a Twitter video.
To turn them off, you need to tap on them.
If you can’t find the icon, it indicates that captions are not available for you.
However, if the captions are still visible in the video, it shows that the editor has deliberately added them.
In this case, you won’t be able to remove them from that video.
How to turn on captions on Twitter videos

- Now, tap on the “CC” icon.
- It will turn on the captions!
The “CC” icon is needed to turn on captions on Twitter videos.
If the “CC” icon is not visible, it means that the feature is not rolled out to your region yet.
Only a limited number of users have the option.
You can use another method to enable captions (for iOS users) is to visit your accessibility settings.
You need to select “Subtitles & Captioning” from your accessibility settings,and turn on “Closed Captions + SDH”.
This setting will also enable CC or subtitles for the deaf or difficulty in hearing.
It can also be done on Android devices as well.
