Closed Captioning: A Game-Changer for Your Disney Plus and Apple TV Content

According to recent studies, videos with closed captions have a 40% higher view rate and an 80% increase in watch time. Moreover, closed captions improve comprehension and retention of the video's message for all viewers. For example, non-native English speakers and those watching in noisy environments can use closed captions to follow along with video content. They provide an option for viewers to follow along with the video's audio even if they cannot hear it.

Closed captions are crucial for viewers who have hearing impairments, but they also benefit other audiences. In this blog post, we will dive into the basics of closed captions, their benefits for content creators, and how to add them to your Disney Plus and Apple TV content.

First, let's understand what closed captions are and why they are important. Closed captions (CC) are subtitles that appear on the screen, displaying the audio of a video in written form. One way to do that is by providing closed captions for our videos, especially for streaming services like Disney Plus and Apple TV.

To enable or disable subtitles on Disney+, follow these steps:

1. Begin playing something from Disney+ in your web browser.

2. Hover over the playing movie or TV show in your browser to display the playback controls.

3. Click the 'Language Controls' button (shaped like a keyboard) in the top-right corner.

From there, you can enable or disable subtitles during playback on Disney+ in your web browser, in the Disney+ mobile app, or on other platforms such as Apple TV. Subtitles are available for all major Disney+ TV shows and movies.

Like Netflix and other streaming platforms, Disney+ caters to multilingual and hard-of-hearing customers by offering subtitles for its movies and TV shows. By providing closed captions, content creators can ensure that their message is accessible to everyone, regardless of hearing ability or language proficiency. In the end, closed captions are a simple yet effective way to make your video content more inclusive and engaging.
