Subtitles are saviors when we want to understand a movie or a show better. However, sometimes the same subtitles on your screen can distract you or might give you spoilers as well. Regardless of the cause, we have got you covered if you no longer want the subtitles. 

Normally, the subtitles are off by default. But you can also manually turn them off on various devices.

How to Turn Off Subtitles on HBO Max

HBO max is available on the web as well as in the application form. Even if it’s not accessible on certain devices, you can mirror it using the device that already has this streaming service.

Before you get into the steps, make sure to log into your HBO Max account.

  4. Press the Cross (X) button on the caption tab and play the video.

  1. Open your TV.
  2. Go to Settings using the remote.
  3. Navigate Accessibility and go to Caption Settings.
