Can't turn Auto Generated Closed Captions off

Running Chrome and Windows 10
There’s no caption icon in the gear menu, nothing top right other than ‘Share’ and right click menu has nada. Need to turn captions off but have no button to do it. My friend doesn’t have this problem.

A screenshot of captioned content with no way to turn it off.

This is probably related to your YouTube settings. Do you see the subtitles as well when you watch videos directly on YouTube? Try to turn them off there and check if it makes a difference on Watch2Gether well.

Alternatively you can enable YouTube’s native player controls in your rooms Settings. You find this under Settings on the left > Personal settings.

Does that help?

Ah! Thank you! That did the trick.
