How to enable subtitles for all your calls on Skype
If you’re having trouble listening to your calls without subtitles, you can enable the feature for all your calls on your account. In this way, you won’t need to toggle the feature every time you join a new call on the app.
You can toggle subtitles for all your calls whether you’re using the Skype app on your computer or mobile device. Follow our step-by-step tutorials below, and we’ll teach you how to do it from both devices.
On your computer:

- Click your profile icon and select “Settings” from the menu.
- Head to the “Calling” tab and open the “Call subtitles” option.
- Toggle the “Show subtitles for all calls” option.
That’s how you enable subtitles for all your calls from the Skype desktop or web app. All your voice and video calls will start with subtitles turned on, but you can turn them off during the call whenever you want.
On your phone:
- Open the Skype mobile app and sign in to your account.
- Tap your profile icon at the top of the chat list.
- Tap “Settings” from the menu.
