Knowing how to remove subtitles from your shows is part one of the must-use Netflix tips for Windows users you need to know. Netflix for Windows uses a slightly different menu item to turn the subtitles off, but finding and using that item is as easy as it is on the mobile app.
Turning the subtitles back on is as easy as disabling the subtitles in the first place. Simply open the same menu that you used to turn off the subtitles in your mobile or desktop app, and then tap the language you want the subtitles in from the Subtitles section. The subtitles will start appearing again on your screen.
Since the vast majority of users are not hearing-impaired, it would make sense for LR to remove subtitles in brackets like [MUSIC] as generated by Youtube and, perhaps, provide an option to deactivate the filter in settings. This also helps keeping exports to Anki focused on useful sentences.
Not sure if this helps as much as having a feature to remove brackets in CCs, but I did notice that using ASR (pro feature) for the subtitle language results in no brackets with text describing what is seen/heard in the music or environment of the show.
If your Internet connection is slow, Netflix subtitles may be affected while playing Netflix. So, it is necessary to check your network speed before watching Netflix movies or TV shows. The steps are as follows:
Corrupted data and caches on your web browser, Smart TV, or streaming devices, may also be responsible for the Netflix subtitles issue. To fix this issue, you have to remove corrupted data and clear the Netflix cache and data.
From the Netflix home screen, select Manage Profiles, then choose the profile you want to edit. Select Audio & Subtitles Languages and select More to see a complete list of languages. However, not all languages are available for all titles, as Netflix shows the five to seven most relevant languages based on your location.
To enable or disable subtitles on your mobile device, begin by playing a show or movie, tap the screen, and tap Audio and subtitles. You can also adjust the brightness and playback speeds from here or skip back and ahead ten seconds.
Next, select your desired subtitle language or select Off to disable them. You can also change the spoken language from here. When ready to start watching, tap Apply.
To toggle subtitles on your computer, begin by playing your title of choice, then click the screen to pause playback. From the bottom right hand of the screen, select the dialogue box icon to bring up Subtitle and Audio settings.
Select Off to turn subtitles off, or select your preferred subtitle language. You can also choose a different spoken language or manage closed captioning under Audio.
Select your preferred language or Off to remove the text on the next page. You can also press the up or down arrow on your remote controller during play to view closed caption settings from the bottom of the screen. The latest app updates of Netflix will save your settings the next time you boot up the big screen.
Managing subtitles is slightly different depending on your generation of Apple TV. For Apple TV 2 and 3, hold down the center button on the Apple TV remote to bring up language and audio settings. Select subtitles and either choose a language or choose Off.
But what about Hulu's features? Though the platform isn't as intuitive to use as I'd like, I've found plenty of ways to enhance the viewing experience. I'm sorry to say that Hulu lacks secret codes that unlock genre menus and other categories of content like Netflix. But with these tricks, you can still add a little razzle dazzle to your streaming flow.
One thing before we dive in: I learned the hard way that Hulu's functions don't work the same across all devices. That inconsistency may be frustrating, but you can check which supported devices work best with these tips by visiting Hulu's help center.
Are you accustomed to watching the Hulu app on your phone? Android and iPhone users can switch to a customized Hulu widget that offers a one-click ride to content you were already watching or suggestions for new titles.
If you have an Android phone, tap an empty spot on your screen and then click the widgets icon. Search for Hulu in the search bar and then click which widget you want to use. You'll have the option to pick from "Keep Watching" or new content.
This tip applies to live TV and Hulu basic subscribers. You know how you select your favorite networks when you first set up your Hulu profile? Well, that doesn't have to be set in stone. If you want to add a channel to your viewing lineup, you'll need to store your preferred networks in the "My Stuff" tab in Hulu.
From the main screen, find the TV tab and scroll down to find the "All TV Networks" row. Click on the channel that has a constant stream of content you want to watch. For example, if you like ABC's shows, select its icon and in the upper corner, click "Add to My Stuff." You'll now see ABC content in your Hulu main page rotation. Repeat the process for other networks. When you navigate to the My Stuff tab, and hit Networks, you'll see a list of all the channels you've added. Fast-track yourself to your favorite shows or movies by clicking on the channel's icon.
Live TV subscribers follow a different set of steps. Open up the Hulu app and click on Hubs. Scroll down to the A-Z section to select the network channels you want, and then tap Add to My Stuff, or choose them from one of the other rows for entertainment, sports, etc. To verify that they're part of your channel lineup, hit the Live tab and click on My Channels.
Like Netflix, Hulu gives you the ability to tailor subtitles on the screen. You can alter the font, background and window appearance for your programming. Open the app on your TV and navigate to your profile icon. Click Settings and open the Subtitles and Captions menu. You can change the font color, opacity and shadowing, and make the same adjustments to your background and window.
This formatting process will only work on supported devices that run the latest version of Hulu. Certain models for Roku, Android TV, Samsung TVs and Apple TV (pre-fourth generation) may not have this function.
For those who watch Hulu late at night on a laptop, there's a feature that will make your ophthalmologist happy: Night Mode. It changes your screen from a light, white background to a dark one to reduce blue light strain on the eyes.
To enable it, hover the cursor over your profile until you see the dropdown menu. Toggle Night Mode to the on or off position. Though this option is only available on computers, you can use the cast feature to stream Hulu from your laptop to Chromecast or your smart TV.
Heading out on a trip? Need a break from one of your monthly bills? You can temporarily put Hulu on ice for up to 12 weeks. Go to your account page and find your subscription column. Click Pause on the Pause Your Subscription bar and choose how long you want to stop Hulu.
You won't be billed during this time but note that the freeze kicks in on the first day of your next billing cycle. Additionally, know that if you've bundled Disney Plus and/or ESPN Plus with your Hulu subscription, access to those apps will be on pause, too.
If you use Netflix regularly, then you're probably accustomed to its autoplay feature that rolls into the next episode or preview. Hulu does the same thing, and you're able to turn it on or off.
For TV and mobile devices, click on your profile icon and then select Settings. Toggle Autoplay to off for videos or previews. If you're streaming Hulu on a web browser, click the gear icon during playback to open up Settings. Toggle Autoplay to off.
Did you finish binge-watching your way through every season of a few shows? What about that horror movie spree from last Halloween? If you want to rewatch a piece of content from the beginning or have the urge to declutter your watch history, there's a way to remove what you've already seen.
On your TV, go to a series or movie's details page. Click the gear icon that says Manage Series. You'll be asked to confirm whether you want to remove the title from your watch history. Choosing Remove will not only delete it from your history and Keep Watching list, but it will also erase your viewing progress for an entire series or movie. This is handy if you want to watch something all over again.
Mobile and web users should start on the home page and find the Keep Watching section on Hulu. Locate the title's thumbnail to open up menu options. Click X or Remove from Watch History and verify your selection.
If a gremlin hid your TV's remote control, fear not, you can still watch Hulu on your big screen by using your phone. How? If you have Chromecast or Airplay on your TV, install the Hulu app on your phone (or other mobile device) cast it.
Be sure your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi, and then open the app on your phone. Choose the content you want to watch and tap either the Airplay or Cast icon. Select Chromecast or your smart TV from the menu and enjoy streaming. You can control playback functions with your phone.
