How do you turn on audio discriptions for netflix? (self.Blind)

submitted by enzwificritic

hi r/blind

I am running NVDA with the google chrome browser on my windows 10 computer. Does anyone know how to turn on audio descriptions for netflix?

I appreciate any help.

I can't comment on specifics in terms of doing this with Windows and NVDA, but start any show and then navigate to the Language options in the playback controls. Open the language settings and you should find English with Audio Description as an option. Once you toggle that on, audio description will remain on for that series and all other shows you watch on Netflix that contain description. You won't have to toggle it on again, it just stays on until you turn it off.

does this effect only my profile in the netflix account? I don't want it to turn on on other family member's profiles because they are sited.

It should just turn it on for your account. It's also not hard to toggle as you can do it in your account settings and through the language options when starting a show. You can control the language options through all manner of Netflix versions whether it's on a SmartTV, game console, AppleTV, or any other device. Still, should just change it for only your account.

Edit: and by Account, I did mean your personal Netflix profile.

I dunno if this helps but it’s a language option. So same as you would switch to spanish you would switch to “English with audio description”. Unfortunately not all titles have it, netflix originals all seem to though

I think it's Settings > General > Accessibility > then toggle audio descriptions on

Your instructions were for iOS and Apple rented videos, not Netflix.
