Even though I have 'Captions' turned on under 'Accessibility', it does nothing!

Ive tried watching on using different Apps, diiferent programs, programs I know have Captions becuase if I use a webpage to watch the same program on the same App there are Captions. But nothing using Google Streamer and having Captions set on.

Hi @Mike17T,

Thanks for providing that information! I really appreciate it.

Based on the caption issue you described, the best recommendation is to reach out directly to Google TV support. Since the issue seems related to their service, they will have better tools to provide you with a resolution. Please contact them, and if the issue persists, please let me know so I can check what else we can do.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

Debora
