How to turn on or off Closed Captioning and Subtitles on Peacock

Peacock TV is a streaming service that debuted in 2020 and features some of the top TV shows, movies, and live programming. It was previously known as NBCUniversal, and it has been changed to provide additional accessibility options to its users to improve their streaming experience.

When streaming movies or series, some of them may be difficult to comprehend because they are written in a different language and the characters’ accents are difficult to understand. It can, however, be modified and customized based on your preferences; this article will lead you through the process.
