Why change the settings so that the subtitles do not appear in the videos?
The truth is that, although it is a very good resource, and has achieved its objective in terms of communication, many users have been uncomfortable and have complained about some shortcomings , such as poor translation, that is, the subtitles do not match what is being said in the original language.
Another reason is usually the arrival of the subtitles at the wrong time , that is, what is mentioned in the video arrives second, or even minutes later, in the subtitles.
In other cases it has to do with videos related to landscapes where the subtitles have to do with the sounds and it is not necessary to have subtitles. For this reason, and for other reasons, many consider the option of deactivating subtitles on Facebook.
What methods can you use to disable subtitles on Facebook?
In principle, you should know that the subtitles have options that can be of great help, they can be edited easily and according to your own tastes. Some of them are:
- The size of the subtitles: You can modify the subtitles according to their size, from too big to too small, that will depend on your preference. This option was one of the most applauded since you can change it whenever you want, and many users who felt tired eyes could change the size whenever they wanted.
- The color of the subtitles: This option depends a lot on your perception, there are users who prefer very light colors and others who feel more comfortable with dark ones. In this sense, you will be able to choose from a multiplicity of available colors, according to your preferences.
- The opacity of the background of the subtitles: The opacity is related to the colors, and also counts a lot on your references.
