How to Turn HBO Max Subtitles On/Off on an Android or iPhone
One of the best things about mobile devices is the ability to take your favorite shows with you. Of course, you need to download and install the app on your mobile device first. Once installed, it’s easy sailing.
Once you’ve found the movie or show you’d like to watch hit the Play button and follow these instructions:
As you can see, the mobile app version of HBO Max does not offer any subtitle customization options. In order to tweak the closed captioning settings, you’ll need to visit a web browser like you would on a PC.
Turning On/Off HBO Subtitles on a PC or Mac
There’s still no HBO Max desktop app for Windows, but you will find it available through Apple TV on Mac. However, the service’s browser client is hard to rival. Apple TV’s HBO Max app has many troublesome reviews, but it does continue to improve. Therefore, launch your preferred browser, log in to the streaming service, and find the content you’d like to play.
HBO Subtitle Management on a Smart TV (Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, Vizio)
When it comes to streaming HBO Max via your smart TV, there are certain limitations. First, the service/app is definitely available on Samsung TVs, models 2016 onwards. Aside from that, you can also install the service on most Android TVs, including Sony.
The following sections outline the options for each of the listed TV brands.
Managing HBO Max Subtitles on Samsung TVs
Using HBO Max subtitles on a Samsung TV is a walk in the park.
Managing HBO Max Subtitles on LG TVs
Similar to many other TVs, managing HBO subtitles on an LG TV is a simple process.
Although closed captions are currently only available in English, the added support for LG TVs shouldn’t go unnoticed.
Managing HBO Max Subtitles on Panasonic TVs
Since Panasonic TVs run on a proprietary smart TV OS, aside from some new Android TVs, there’s no support for HBO Max. Even though they did release a couple Android versions, they were buggy and slow because the hardware couldn’t keep up, although progress is being made with newer models every year. Furthermore, Panasonic quit making TVs in 2016 for the U.S. market altogether, but have since been attempting to come back with their new OLED 4K models and Android OS models. If you have an old Panasonic TV, there is an option to mirror the screen of your Android or iOS smartphone.
The annoying thing is that you might need to wait for a while before the connection gets established. And of course, you set the subtitles via your smartphone.
Managing HBO Max Subtitles on Sony TVs
As indicated, Sony smart TVs run on Android and you can download and install HBO Max from the Play Store.
Managing HBO Max Subtitles on Vizio TVs
Yes, Vizio is one of those brands that don’t run on Android, so you can’t install the HBO Max app onto the TV. However, the TV manufacturer was quick to reveal a hack. As per their official website, you can enjoy HBO Max content via Apple AirPlay or Chromecast.
For the purposes of this article, we’ll provide explanations for AirPlay.
Additional FAQ
Despite the accessibility quirks, HBO Max is still one of the most promising streaming services around. The following FAQ section covers useful subtitle customizations and some playback issues you might encounter.
Can I Change the Subtitle Language?
To get one thing straight, the availability of HBO Max subtitles depends on the original language of the content. So, Studio Ghibli movies will be in Japanese and the native titles are in English. The Latino content section on the platform follows the same logic – Spanish audio, English subtitles.
That said, certain subtitles are available in two or more languages. You should be able to choose the language input from the CC menu, and this also applies to the audio. The languages you can choose usually include Spanish, English, Portuguese, Japanese, etc.
Subtitles Keep Coming Back On. What Can I Do?
Persistent subtitles can be annoying, but there is a quick fix.
1. First, determine if the CC button within the playback is enabled or not.
2. Then, proceed to HBO Max Settings, select Accessibility, and enter the Subtitles & Captioning menu.
If the subtitles are disabled there as well, you’ll need to check the settings on your TV or streaming gadget. The idea is to turn the subtitles off everywhere you can so they won’t appear again. But you might also need to exit and reenter the streaming service for the changes to take effect.
Can Text Size Be Adjusted in HBO Max?
There’s no option to increase just the text size within HBO Max, but there might be one on your streaming dongle and other devices. For example, the Accessibility menu on a Mac features a Captions customization menu and you can choose Large Text.
A similar feature is available on Windows 10 and it should affect all the subtitles played on that computer. If this doesn’t do the trick, there’s always an option to increase the font size on HBO Max.
Can the Font Size Be Changed?
You can choose between six settings from Tiny to Extra Large font size. You access this from the main Settings menu. When streaming via TV or a supported streaming gadget, the Closed Captioning appears in the upper section of the screen.
1. Use the arrow buttons on your remote to access Closed Captioning and press the OK button to confirm your selection.
My Subtitles Aren’t Syncing Properly. What Can I Do?
As long as you’re using the native subtitles, there’s no reason to worry about syncing. But if it happens, pause the playback, then play it again to see if the temporary break helps. You can also try to disable, then enable the subtitles to make them pick up the pace.
If this doesn’t do the trick, exit the HBO Max service, then restart your streaming device. When you’re using the web client, restart your browser and clear its cache, before playing the video again.
Max Out Your Subtitles
When all is said and done, you’re only ever a couple of taps or clicks away from enabling and disabling HBO Max subtitles. The service is still young, and you can expect further improvements to better your viewing experience.
