How to Disable Live Captions in Chrome?

On computers, we usually use our browsers to stream any videos be it YouTube, Netflix or any other website. As the video players of these platforms already provide a caption or subtitle of their videos, Google has also introduced its caption system.

Google calls it Live Caption and it works on any video you just need to enable it and then your browser can create live captions of the video that you are playing. In case you are having double live captions or double subtitles, then chances are that the live caption feature of your browser is enabled. Also, the live caption feature is currently exclusive to Google Chrome only.

However, as of now Chrome only supports live caption for the English language. Google will add more languages to its live caption features in the coming months.
