Enable and customise subtitles on Teleboy TV
Subtitles can be switched on or off on various devices – provided the channel or programme supports them. You can tell by the subtitle icon in the video controls.
Short answer: during playback, tap the subtitle or audio track icon and choose your language. On Smart TVs and in the browser you can also customise how subtitles look (size, contrast, colour).

On Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS) and Philips (Saphi and Titan OS) the subtitle settings offer four ready-made variants: Standard, Large font, High contrast and Large font and high contrast. The preview on the right shows the result immediately.

Use Reset (top right) to restore the original state at any time.
3Apple TV: via the system settings
On Apple TV the subtitle appearance is not set in the Teleboy app but in the device's system settings (under Accessibility or "Subtitles and Captioning"). The setting applies to all apps.
⚠ Not available on Android TV
On Android TV subtitles can only be switched on or off and the language selected – size, contrast and colour cannot be changed.
