The new Netflix feature you want to be more like Prime Video and HBO Max with

Till date, Netflix only allowed you to customize the subtitles of your series and movies from the webpage player. In other words, this option did not exist in mobile phone applications, tablets oh Smart-TV. However, the platform streaming took a big step forward with the addition of such a function: Now you can customize how subtitles appear at all times. This, yes, solo a Smart TV.

Here are custom Netflix subtitles on Smart TV

Thanks to Tech Crunchwe can take a look at new subtitle settings menu on Netflix. All platform users streaming Those with the TV app will benefit from the ability to:

• Change subtitle size. To do this, you will have up to 3 options (small, medium and large).
• change style. There will be 4 alternatives, including “fallen shadow“. The goal is to adapt the hue and the contrast to the taste of the viewer.

In both cases, are features that will help people with some type of hearing or visual impairment to better enjoy the experience netflix. What is surprising is that the streaming platform did not integrate this option much earlier, while in applications such as HBO Max or Prime Video it has been with us for years.

Change the Appearance of Subtitles in the Netflix Web Player

As I explained, Netflix already let you change the font, size, shadow and background color of subtitles (and closed captions, or CC) in your web player. To do this, it was as simple as:

1. In a web browser, go to the Netflix Account page.
2. In Profile and parental control, Select a profile.
3. Choose To change In Appearance of subtitles. This option is not available on older devices or in countries that support some of the following languages: Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, Japanese, Romanian, and Thai.
4. Choose subtitle appearance settings.
5. Guard changes.
6. Open the Netflix app on your device.

It is to be expected that if you consume Netflix series and movies in some of these languages, the option will not be available in the Smart TV application either. However, I have not been able to confirm this latter situation on my own.
