From the web site ...
HOW TO VIEW CAPTIONS: Press play and then click the bottom right button, the one with the triangle pointing up. Then click the CC - Closed Captioned symbol. This preference SHOULD save, but you may have to repeat on each video. PS: We do not make money from any ads on the actual videos. We do not like ads on videos; those are put there by the actual owner of the content.
