Additional Frequently Asked Questions
It should be obvious by now how simple it is to enable or disable Disney Plus subtitles on any device. Furthermore, this option usually works flawlessly. However, you should be aware of some specific customizations and troubleshooting options.
The short answer is yes, you can, and you already know how. When you’re in the Audio & Subtitles menu, use your remote’s arrow keys to navigate right. Then, from the list, select and check your preferred language.
The majority of Disney Plus content is available in over twenty different subtitle languages. Some unusual fonts and letters, however, may be unavailable.
In any case, the language preview for subtitles should appear as soon as you make your selection.
Subtitles should be turned off during playback if they are disabled. However, this isn’t always the case, particularly with certain streaming devices and Smart TVs.
You should double-check the in-app setting to find the culprit. That is, turn off the Disney Plus subtitles. Then, examine the option on your Roku, Firestick, or any other streaming device you may have.
After that, you can resume playback to see if the subtitles have vanished. This does not always work, and you may need to adjust the TV settings.
To be clear, turning off subtitles on streaming devices and TVs applies to all content, not just specific content. And, to avoid annoyances, the Disney Plus app should be able to override those.
Yes, you can change the size of the text. You can find different text sizes expressed in percentages in the Subtitles/Closed Captions menu. Simply select the desired percentage, and the subtitles will automatically scale to that. However, there is a catch.
The text may appear too large or too small depending on the device you’re using. This problem is common with certain Android smartphones, for example.
If your streaming device allows you to change the overall text size, you won’t need to change the Disney Plus settings.
For example, if you’re using an iPhone or an Android device, go to the Accessibility Settings. In most cases, you can change the font, size, and even color of your subtitles from here. The same options are available in the Closed Captioning settings on an Xbox and PS4/5.
Yes, you can adjust the font size in the Disney Plus Audio & Subtitles settings. In addition, the menu lets you change the font color, opacity, and edge style.
Navigate to Audio & Subtitles and select Settings to access this option.
Select the desired Font Size from the corresponding tab and view the preview in the window at the top of the menu.
Some devices, such as the Xbox One, will almost certainly require a much larger font than the original.
To begin, keep in mind that this is not a common issue with Disney Plus. Subtitles are present in all of the content at a frame rate that corresponds to the video frame rate. As a result, restarting the playback or the app itself usually resolves the issue.
Some streaming devices may also allow you to manually change the frame rate, which may temporarily resolve the issue. However, as the video progresses, the subtitles may become out of sync once more. This is especially true if you intend to use third-party subtitles.
When streaming content via mobile devices, make sure the operating system and the app are both up to date. Otherwise, subtitles may lag behind audio and vice versa.
Binge Streaming with Subtitles
When it comes to subtitle management, Disney Plus has left no stone unturned. Regardless of the device you use, access is simple. Furthermore, the customization menu is difficult to beat. The only restriction is the text size on certain devices.
