Closed Caption on Peacock

[chuck2009]

Any ideas why my closed caption doesn't work on Peacock? I don't have a problem with other apps. Youtube doesn't work either, but I'm ok with that.

Hi @chuck2009 

Could you elaborate a bit further as to the meaning of does not work? Is it missing? Is it lagging? Does it cut? Only on some programs vs all? etc

[chuck2009]

Thanks for responding. I get no closed caption. I do get it on all the networks, Prime, Tubi, etc, etc, etc.

Got it, in order to better triage this issue for you, could you provide some of the following details?

• Example program where you experienced this (Movie/Episode/etc)
• What section within the app were you in? Welcome screen, browse section, etc?
• Can you provide a short step-by-step of how you are trying to turn on CC

Regards,

I access Peacock via the voice remote. Select Browse, then movies. No matter what movie I start, closed caption is not there. I also tried the series Yellowstone, and closed caption doesn't work there either. Closed caption does work on all my stations/networks, Tubi, etc.

I have the same situation with my flex box. Closed captions work with everything except peacock, where they do not work at all. I have repeatedly turned them on with the CC balloon, but nothing happens. I have also turned them on in accessibility settings. Still no luck, trying with Cheers, Columbo, Carol Burnett, Alfred Hitchcock. They work fine everywhere else, such as Tubi, Pluto TV, etc.

Thanks, at least I know it's a problem other than on my end. Oh, well, I just won't bring up movies on Peacock.

Tried the down button to get to subtitles and it will not move down to that section, very frustrating

How do we get a verified employee to answer this problem of closed captioning? It’s beyond frustrating.

There is a solution in another thread which seems to work for posters (I have not personally tried it).

I already said (above) that I have tried that repeatedly and it does not work 😞

[LarryR2]

Ok. I just tried it. I started Shrek and waited until the actual movie started. Then I pressed the down arrow to get the info stuff. Then I pressed the left-arrow twice to highlight the bubble. Then I pressed select and then the up arrow to English and then select. The subtitles came on.

You are brilliant! That worked! I didn’t realize the “yellow” color told me where I was and why I could not get to the subtitles! Thank you!!!

Check for the yellow highlight to move left or right until you get on the cc bubble. Then I pressed the down arrow to get the info stuff. Then I pressed the left-arrow twice to highlight the bubble. Then I pressed select and then the up arrow to English and then select. The subtitles came on.

What 'down' or 'left' button?  I can see the CC box but no matter what buttons I push I do not see movement towards that CC caption box.    I am guessing you are referencing the silver arrows that are adjcacent to the enter on my X1 remote -
