Netflix has introduced a new subtitle option that allows viewers to disable audio cues like background noises (e.g., door slams or phone buzzes) in closed captions.

With the release of You Season 5 on April 24, Netflix announced that all new content on the platform will offer two subtitle options in the original language of the show or movie.

Previously, the only available subtitle option for original language content was a closed caption (CC) version designed for the deaf or hard of hearing, which included both spoken dialogue and audio cues. The new option, however, focuses solely on subtitles for spoken dialogue, leaving out non-verbal sounds.

What’s Different About Netflix’s New Subtitle Option?

Launched on April 24, Netflix’s new subtitle feature offers viewers a choice between a regular dialogue-only subtitle option and the preexisting CC option, which includes audio cues. For example, an English-language program would have the “English” option, which shows only spoken dialogue, and the “English CC” option, which also displays background sounds like door slams.

This update debuted alongside the release of You’s final season, giving viewers a chance to enjoy Joe Goldberg’s story without the distraction of unnecessary audio cues.

How to Use Netflix’s New Dialogue-Only Subtitles

To access this new subtitle option, go to the language picker in Netflix’s settings. Depending on the device, it may be located under “Audio & Subtitles” or through the speech bubble icon on the screen.

How Common Are Subtitles?

Netflix revealed that nearly half of its American viewers use subtitles or captions regularly. A survey by Preply last year found that half of Americans use subtitles most of the time, with more than half stating it has become harder to hear dialogue in shows and movies.
