Turning Subtitles And Captions On And Off From A PC
The most well-known and popular way to stream Peacock amongst users is on their computer browsers. One of the primary reasons behind Peacock’s popularity is due to its user-friendliness, as well as its minimalist and intuitive user interface.
Therefore, you’ll find it extremely easy to locate the subtitles button if you’re busy watching a movie or show on Peacock TV using your computer’s browser.
Here’s how to do it:
- On your PC, sign in to your Peacock account through your browser.
- Choose the title you would like to stream and select it.
- Move your computer’s cursor across your screen. You will see the specific video playback option, which you will see at the bottom of your screen.
- In your browser window, in the corner on the left, click on an icon, which will be labeled “Comments.” The text will be yellow if you move over it with your cursor.
- You will see the pop-up menu appearing, which will show “Audio” and “Subtitles.” There will have a choice between “On,” “Off,” or “English.” Keep in mind that some titles will also have a “Spanish” option.
If you do not see the changes immediately, do not stress. The changes will be applied within about thirty seconds. If you see the subtitles have not loaded after this time, you can also refresh the page and check it again.
You can also disable and enable the subtitles and closed captioning if the movie or show is paused. The changes will still get applied.
