By default, auto captions are enabled for users who are deaf or hard of hearing, but if you want to turn them off or switch them on again, you can do so in the For You page. You can even split lines that you think are too long.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Auto_captions_are_turned_on_by_default_for_users_who_are_deaf_or_hard_of_hearing\"><\/span>Auto captions are turned on by default for users who are deaf or hard of hearing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With its recent announcement that auto captions for videos on its platform are now enabled by default for users with hearing or visual impairments, TikTok has made a huge step toward helping its deaf and hard of hearing community to better consume content on the platform. By generating subtitles automatically, auto captions allow users with impaired hearing to hear the context of videos. The feature has many benefits, and users can now watch videos with closed captions on their devices.<\/p>\n<p>When first opening TikTok, users will see a pop-up to confirm that the video has captions. Click on the checkmark next to the captions to toggle them on. If you&#8217;re a video creator, you can toggle captions on or off in the Me tab. Toggling captions on and off is available on the videos themselves.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_turn_them_off_in_2022\"><\/span>You can turn them off in 2022<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some ways to turn off captions on TikTok. Turning them off will prevent the video from showing captions on other videos. You can turn them on and off as needed by accessing the settings page in the app. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<p>To turn off comments on individual videos, go to the user&#8217;s profile and select the &#8220;Privacy&#8221; section. There, you can turn off comments, duets, stitches, and tags. To turn them off, simply click the toggle icon. This will turn off notifications on TikTok for all your videos. Once you have turned off comments, you&#8217;ll be free to post new videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_disable_them_in_your_For_You_page\"><\/span>You can disable them in your For You page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you have a sensitive eye, or you simply prefer subtitle-free videos, there are ways to turn off TikTok captions. Alternatively, you can use the TikTok web client. To turn off captions, tap on the video in your For You page. If you disable captions on your TikTok video, you will only see text and graphics.<\/p>\n<p>On your For You page, tap on the video and tap on &#8220;Captions&#8221; to see if they are enabled. When captions are enabled, a small bubble will appear in the upper right corner of the video. When disabled, the text box will turn into a small text box. To turn captions off, tap on the video&#8217;s text box and select &#8220;Disable&#8221; once again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_split_lines_that_you_think_are_too_long\"><\/span>You can split lines that you think are too long<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Splitting a line on TikTok is easy &#8211; you can tap the back button on your phone and rewrite the line as you think it is shorter. You can also highlight specific words to make them stand out. TikTok has an internal editor, but it has limitations. It is impossible to insert a Ken Burns effect, record time-lapses, or add an emoji. Many TikTokers prefer to use an external editor, which may require editing skills, but can be used by anyone with basic knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_stop_people_from_tagging_you\"><\/span>You can stop people from tagging you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve found yourself being tagged in a TikTok video, you may be wondering how to stop it. After all, tagging someone means they can comment on your video. However, tagging is more than an invitation to comment. In TikTok, you can disable taggers. If you&#8217;ve been accidentally tagged, follow these steps to remove them from your videos.<\/p>\n<p>First, log into your TikTok account and select the privacy settings button. Next, select the Mentions and tags option in the Privacy section. Scroll down and press the circle next to No one. Then click &#8220;Save&#8221; and follow the steps outlined in the instructions. This should prevent spam videos from tagging you. You can now block tagging from anyone. This is a good way to keep your TikTok account safe from unwanted attention.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"486\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cdEQSZ2KZ9M\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Captions on TikTok If you&#8217;ve ever wanted subtitles to be turned off on your videos on TikTok, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
