Peacock Closed Captioning

[FogCitySue]

How do I get closed captioning on Peacock.? I cannot seem to find anyplace to select it on Peacock.  

It is on automaticcally on all other Comcast broadcasts/channels as well as on Netflick and other channels that I watch through Roku.

i have tried watching Peacock on more than one TV and have the same problem.

Thank you for the suggestion.  For me the conversation icon is on the bottom left and then I selected English subtitles.

while playing a video on your X1 Peacock app, press the down button on the remote and then left to the cartoon text icon. press the OK button to toggle the icon to yellow (on).

Is there a way to turn on closed captioning by default instead of doing it one by one?

not so far. I check every week or so to see if the 'gear' (settings) option on Peacock has an option about captions but so far nothing has changed.

all the suggestions seemed to be to select the down arrow on the remote, then left or right to highlight the cc button in yellow.  For my TV (panasonic) I had to use the left button on the remote, then got to the cc button.  So try all the remote options - up, down, left, right and see if one of those works.

very frustrating to spend an hour trying to be able to get cc for a show, though.

subtitle menu is available when watching a program not a commercial. press down button then left two times to the thought bubble (like cartoon speech box). press the OK button and move up to the language offered you wish to have.

Finally got it to work.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Peacock TV still doesn't offer closed captions as a feature.  Here's what to do (Peacock calls closed captions "subtitles.")  If you want to watch the next episode you must do all this again and again...

       To turn on subtitles while playing content, please follow the steps below. 

·      Launch the content you would like to watch.

·      Click down to pull up the video playback options.

·      Toggle or click to the left to the text bubble icon.

·       Then select the subtitle option you would like to use.

·       You may have to click a button to select this choice and allow 30 seconds for the subtitles to come on.  https://www.peacocktv.com/help/article/subtitles

On my remote the procedure is as follows:

On the Xfinity remote (mine has a section with OK and 4 directional arrows, all silver colored)

Press the silver down arrow

Press the silver left arrow until the cartoon ballon icon is highlighted

To turn on Closed Captioning (Subtitles)

Select the column showing English None Subtitles

To turn off Closed Captioning (Subtitles)

Select the column showing English Audio

Pluto is basically Peacock in reverse.  Why don't they make things easy for us?  🙄
