How to turn off live caption

Imagine you’re in the middle of an important video conference when all of a sudden, live captions pop up on your screen, distracting you from the conversation. Although this feature can be helpful for those who are hard of hearing, it may not suit everyone’s preferences or circumstances. If you find yourself wondering how to turn off live captions, you’re not alone. Many users encounter this feature unexpectedly and seek an easy way to regain control of their screen.

To turn off live captions, go to the settings menu of your device or application (for example, on Zoom or Google Meet). Look for the Accessibility section or the menu specifically for captions, and toggle the live captions option off.

To elaborate, the process of turning off live captions may vary depending on the platform you are using. If you’re using Google Meet, for instance, find the three dots in the meeting controls to open the menu, then select ‘Turn off captions’. On Zoom, you can go to the settings by clicking on the gear icon, navigate to the Accessibility section, and disable the live captions option. On devices like smartphones or tablets, check your accessibility settings, where you might find an option to turn off live captions. Regardless of the device, the key is to access your settings or meeting controls where these caption options are typically located. By adjusting these settings, you can easily turn off the live captions feature and create a more focused and distraction-free environment for your online meetings.
