    This is the button with three white dots printed on it, as shown here, and shouldn’t be mistaken for the four multicoloured dots at the top of the remote.

    You will also need to ensure that you need to be watching something via live TV to bring up the option for subtitles.Sky Glass remote with Options button

Troubleshooting

How do you turn off subtitles?

To turn off subtitles you simply need to follow the above steps again, however rather than choosing a language, just select Off.

Can you use voice control to turn on subtitles?

Yes, you can use voice control to enable subtitles on your Sky Glass TV, simply by pressing and holding the microphone button, as shown below, and saying “hello Sky, turn on subtitles”. 

If you have Sky Glass with a Streaming TV subscription then you can even use hands-free voice control, without needing your remote to hand.
