How to Play Subtitles along with Movie on TV?

Generally, there are two ways to put subtitles on TV. If you have an advanced smart TV that reads subtitles, you can directly play the subtitles along with the video on your TV with some simple settings. Otherwise, you'll need to embed subtitles into the video to play the subtitled movie on TV. Let's take a look at how to add subtitles to movies on TV in detail.

Many smart TVs, including Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and more, have a subtitle option that allows you to turn on closed captions/soft subtitles when watching videos. You should first check whether your TV supports subtitles (find the relevant information on the TV manual or the official website) and follow the steps below.

Step 1. Turn on closed captions on your TV. See if there is a Subtitle option on your remote or enter the Menu and follow the on-screen options to get the closed captions setting. For example, on Samsung TV home screen, click Settings > General > Accessibility > Caption Settings > press Caption to turn subtitles on.

Step 2. Name the video and the subtitle the same except for the extension. They should look like this – filename.mp4 (video) and filename.srt (subtitle).

Note. The SRT file should be in Unicode format.

Step 3. Put the video and subtitle in the same folder and transfer it to your USB.

Step 4. Connect the USB to your TV. Enjoy watching movies with subtitles on your TV now!
