# How to Turn On Closed Captioning

## Make your viewing experience more accessible with Edge Factor’s built-in closed captioning (CC). This feature ensures that all viewers—regardless of hearing ability or preferred language—can follow along with the video content.

> ### Steps to Enable Closed Captions

1. **Open the Edge Factor Library**  
   Navigate to the **Library** in your Edge Factor account.
   
   ![Library](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Library.jpg?width=644&height=363&name=Library.jpg)
2. **Choose a Video**  
   Select the **series** and then the specific **episode** you wish to watch.
   
   ![locate your episode](https://knowledge.edgefactor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/locate%20your%20episode.jpg?width=645&height=363&name=locate%20your%20episode.jpg)
3. **Click the CC Button**  
   Inside the video player, look for the **“CC” (Closed Captions)** icon—typically located in the bottom right corner of the player controls.
