Key Highlights
- Netflix adds dialogue-only subtitles
- Available in many languages
- Easy to enable in subtitle settings
Netflix has introduced a brand-new feature to make watching shows and movies with subtitles much smoother and more focused. The platform now offers dialogue-only subtitles, starting with season five of its popular thriller series You. This new setting removes background audio cues and speaker names, showing only what’s being said by the characters.
This update is great news for viewers who prefer a cleaner screen while still needing subtitles. Until now, subtitles on Netflix came with extra details like ‘phone buzzing’ or ‘knock on the door’, meant for those with hearing difficulties. While helpful for some, these cues could be distracting for others who just want to follow the conversation. Let’s explore its features and how it works.
