As an avid viewer of movies and shows on the Starz streaming service, I often find myself needing to toggle subtitles on or off depending on the situation. Having the option for subtitles is extremely helpful when watching content late at night and needing to keep the volume low to avoid disturbing others. Subtitles can also aid in understanding dialogue that may be difficult to hear clearly.
The Starz app makes it simple to enable or disable subtitles across devices. Whether you are using Starz on your mobile phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV, subtitles can be turned on or off with just a few taps or clicks. Here is a detailed guide on how to toggle subtitles in the Starz app on all major devices.
