Subtitled, Audio Described and Signed programming

When content has subtitles available, they will have an 'S' icon present in the playback menu. Subtitles can be activated from the playback menu by selecting the icon or from within accessibility settings within your device. Android users cannot currently customise the appearance of subtitles.

Subtitled content be found across our platforms. If subtitles are available an "S" button will be visible on the video player bar. Click on the "S" and the subtitles will load and display.

Subtitles are currently supported on the channel4.com website, the iPhone/iPad app (for streaming), a number of Android mobile and tablet apps (for downloads and streaming), YouView, PS4, Amazon Fire, Freeview Play, Samsung devices and on our content available on Sky.

We take accessibility seriously and whilst we aim to subtitle as much content as possible, unfortunately, not everything on  demand will carry subtitles. In particular, this could be some of our older content that was subtitled live on our linear services or where the version of a programme differs to the one originally broadcast.

If you have hearing loss, more recent videos have subtitles which can be accessed from within the playback menu and will be indicated with an 'S' Icon.

Click on the "S" button in the video player (once the ads have played) and subtitles for the programme will load. If the "S" button is not displayed, this means that no subtitles are available for that programme.

For the best subtitle experience on channel4.com with live TV (i.e. Channel 4, More4, E4, Film4, 4Seven) please see our recommended browsers for more details.
