Unable to turn off Safari closed captioning while watching content on Vudu.com New MacBook Pro M3 user here, Safari 17.3.1, and Sonoma 14.3.1... Attempting to watch video content through Vudu.com, I am unable to remove the closed captioning which is seemingly auto-added by Safari. If I turn on Closed Captions in the Vudu player, I then see two sets of captions, one from Vudu, the other from Safari (see screenshot). I have already verified that all closed captions options are deactivated in System Settings > Accessibility, but I cannot get rid of them in Safari during Vudu playback. This does not occur with any other video content such as Youtube, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Has anyone else experienced and been able to resolve this issue?

Captions disappearing Issue. Hi everybody. I have a strange bug while im editing the captions on my timeline. When i delete a caption then all the other captions are disappearing. Then i have to click on show captions button twice to make them appear again. Since i can not assign Show captions button to my keyboard its very annoying. I have created my captions with simon says app. Is there anybody out there who can help me with this issue? PS: Maybe apple can allow us to assign the button of show captions soon. Thanks a lot.

Hey there DanMccarter,

While we weren't able to find an old enough article for your currently installed macOS version, we did find the one for macOS High Sierra(one version upgrade from your current macOS) that shows how to enable/disable closed captioning: Use subtitles and closed captions on Mac

Please keep in mind that the closed captioning feature may be a built-in feature of a video streaming website, and if this is the case, we recommend reaching out to them in regards to how it works on their website.

Cheers!
