How do I add closed captions to Paramount plus?

Short summary:

  1. Start playing the video you want to watch on Paramount+.
  2. If you see a "CC" button located on the bottom right corner of the video player, click on it and select the language of the closed captions you want to use.
  3. If you don't see a "CC" button, sign in to your Paramount+ account and click on your profile icon located on the top right corner of the page. Select "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu.
  4. If you don't have a profile icon, find the "CC" button on your remote control and press it while the video is playing.
  5. If you're still unable to find the "CC" button or closed captions are not appearing, try turning off your TV and turning it back on again.
  6. Start watching the video and press the "CC" button on your remote control. If you don't see a "CC" button on your remote, press the "Menu" button and navigate to the "Settings" or "Setup" menu. Look for an option related to closed captions or subtitles, and turn it on.

Note: Not all content on Paramount+ has closed captions available.

Are you pressing the correct button?

it’s a horizontal button, cc is written below it. There is also a +\- and up/down arrows

Do you see on the remote something like "Subtitle," or "Sub."?

Customer Replay

no nothing like that

Please pause the video and tell me what you see there.

Customer Replay

white rectangle in the upper right corner, and the time tracker below

Please go ahead with watching the video and check if cc are there.

Customer Replay

cc are not there

If you are seeing a white rectangle in the upper right corner of the video player it is possible that the closed captions or subtitles are enabled, and they are blocking part of the screen.

Customer Replay

i was previously able to go to settings > closed captions and pick font size, etc, but then cc never appeared

Please go to the settings first.

Customer Replay

ok i’m in settings

Now, please go to "closed captions".

Customer Replay

ok I’m there

What do you see there?

Customer Replay

options for font size, color, etc

Do you see any toggle like "closed captions"?

Customer Replay

no

Not all content on Paramount+ has closed captions available.
