Subtitles are a boon to the hearing-impaired, so it can be particularly frustrating when they don’t work. HBO Max will have to take care of it from their end, but they need to be aware of the problem first.

If this happens, you can’t fix the problem yourself. So it’s possible that some of the data is corrupted, resulting in subtitles appearing incorrectly or at the wrong time. Subtitles aren’t generated automatically they’re uploaded as part of the data with a specific TV show or movie. You can reach them through messaging, phone, or email by going to the Help Center. If you’ve tried every possible step and still can’t get subtitles to load, report the problem to HBO Max. You might have enabled or disabled a setting on one platform that’s still enabled on another. Roku devices often have different settings than your mobile app. Sometimes, server issues might prevent subtitles from working for one platform and not another, even if there are no reported problems.

For example, try streaming on your Roku device if HBO Max subtitles won’t load on your smart TV.

If you can’t get subtitles to work on one streaming platform, try another. Even if it’s enabled on one, it might not automatically be enabled on another. Too often, it’s easy to forget to select the CC button, especially if you swap between streaming platforms. This will turn on subtitles and start streaming them alongside the audio.
