Turn Off Captions on X (Twitter) Videos

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

On X.com, use the video's CC control when available. On iPhone or Android, timeline captions can be automatic and full-screen captions follow device accessibility settings.

Check the video control

On X.com, select the CC control on a video to toggle available subtitles.

Check device captions

On iPhone open Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning; on Android open Caption preferences. This affects other apps too.

Check sound behavior

Some X subtitles appear when device sound is off, and timeline captions can appear automatically on mobile.

Know the content limit

Not every video has captions, and X does not provide one universal per-account switch for every caption type.
