# Turn On Subtitles

On your Fire tablet, you can enable Subtitling for supported movies and TV shows in Prime Video, and for available videos within the Silk Browser and for personal videos in Photos. Help for 4th Generation and newer Fire Tablets.

While browsing Prime Video movies and TV shows, videos that include subtitles appear with the subtitles symbol ("CC") on their overview pages. Most videos that support subtitles include English text. Other languages may also be available.

To turn on Subtitles for Prime Video, Silk and Photos:

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen and then tap Accessibility. Tap the switch next to Subtitling to turn it on.
2. Tap Subtitling Preferences to customize your settings for:
   - Text – Adjust text size, color, opacity, font, and edge style.
   - Text Background – Select the color and opacity for the text's background.
   - Window Background – Select the color and opacity for the Subtitling window.
3. If you want to use the values you selected for Subtitling on Prime Video Subtitles, tap On next to Use Amazon web settings for Prime Video Subtitles.

Tap Reset to Defaults to reset your customized settings to the default values.

Tip: You can also manage your Prime Video Subtitles settings under Subtitles Preferences at www.amazon.com/cc.
