How to Easily Add Custom Subtitles on Netflix

Netflix has now evolved from the English-only movie and TV series streaming platform to an international streamer. The number of Netflix users has exponentially grown from the past several months, especially during the lockdown scenario. Even though the substantial amount of subscribers are non-English speakers, the Netflix subtitles for most of the movies are in English. In case you are looking for a way to watch a movie or favorite TV series on Netflix with a custom subtitle in your native language, we have got your covered.

In this guide, we will discuss how to easily add custom subtitles on Netflix using the latest methods.

Netflix provides a default set of subtitles with all kinds of movies and TV shows. Sometimes, the subtitles in your native language might be available on the streaming platform. Therefore, in such cases, you do not have to get any custom subtitles in your native language to run on your Netflix. You can easily change subtitles on Netflix from the available list.

Here is how to change subtitles on Netflix from any device.

Change Subtitles Netflix

  1. Open Netflix and start playing any content.
  2. Click on the captions button on the bottom right of the screen along with the playback progress bar on Netflix.
  3. Choose the subtitle language of your own choice.
