Comments

For any subtitle-first people, this action makes it easy to ensure captions are always on and you can read along to what’s happening onscreen.

Use this if you need closed captioning or just prefer to have them on – we definitely do most of the time in our household.

Use with Open App on Apple TV if you want to selectively enable/disable them depending on the service you’re using.
