Get the Most Out Of Your Netflix Subtitles

Subtitle Language

English is the default subtitle language for all movies and TV shows across Netflix. However, you can change it to your own preferred language, say Hindi, within a few simple clicks. Once you’ve picked your preference, Netflix will remember it and use the same by default for other titles on the platform. If you want to change the entire Netflix interface language to Hindi, check this guide.

Font, Size, and Color

  Don’t like the regular subtitle font, size, or color? Don’t worry, Netflix lets you easily customize subtitles, as follows.

Shadow

Netflix adds a drop shadow against the subtitles for better visibility. You can change the effect to your liking for a better separation of text from the background. Besides, you can also change the color of the shadow or the outline.

Background

At times, the subtitles get hard to read due to the background. In that case, you can add a solid or semi-transparent background to improve readability, as follows.

Closed Captions

Closed Captions are more or less subtitles with added descriptions of background noises, background tracks, and or names of characters speaking off-camera. This accessibility feature is particularly designed for people having hearing difficulties. To use closed captions, play a title, tap ‘Audio & Subtitles’, and select ‘Audio Descriptions.’
