How to get subtitles on Amazon Prime
Hard of hearing? Not to worry – here's how to turn on subtitles for your favourite Amazon shows.
Subtitles are a vital part of the TV viewing experience for those that need them, but finding out how to switch them on in the first place isn't always easy.
We've put together a guide on how you can switch on subtitles whilst watching Amazon Prime Video content so you can enjoy Marvellous Mrs. Maisel or Little Fires Everywhere without missing any dialogue.
How to turn on subtitles on for Amazon Prime Video
1. When you choose an episode of a series to watch, once it begins playing, click on the speech bubble symbol in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Under the subtitles heading, you can click on English CC (or any other language subtitles that are available which you may want to use). If you want to change the font size or colour of the subtitles, click on Subtitles Settings.
3. Click back onto the screen once you have finished picking your subtitle settings and text should start appearing once you play whatever you are watching.
How to customise your Amazon Prime subtitles

1. Go to the Amazon Prime Video homepage and click on Menu (underneath your basket).
2. Then click on Settings.
3. From there, click on the Subtitles subheading.
