Accessibility on Netflix

At Netflix, we want everyone to enjoy great stories, no matter their language, device, internet connection, or abilities. That’s why we offer a variety of accessibility features guided by international accessibility standards and relevant legal frameworks.

We offer a number of accessibility features, including support for assistive technologies such as screen readers and listening systems, use of built-in features on devices like Apple and Android, and our own tools, including the ability to customize subtitles and closed captions on TV and adjust playback speed on mobile.

In addition to regularly monitoring and improving our accessibility features, we ask for feedback from members and accessibility and disability advocacy groups. Scroll to the bottom of this page to share your feedback.

The following accessibility features are available for people with hearing, sight, or physical mobility needs.
