How To Turn Off The Narrator On Hbo Max

Ever Get Annoyed by That Voiceover on HBO Max?

We've all been there. You're ready to binge your favorite show on HBO Max, but there's a voice narrating everything. It can be super distracting! Let's get rid of it.

Turning Off Narrator on Your TV

First, grab your remote. Navigate to the Settings menu on your TV.

Look for something like Accessibility or Audio Settings. It might be hidden, so poke around a little!

Once you find Accessibility, you should see options related to audio descriptions or screen readers. Simply disable the Audio Description or Narrator option.

Mobile Devices and Tablets

Using your phone or tablet? The process is pretty similar.

Head to your device's main Settings app. Again, look for the Accessibility settings.

From there, disable the Voice Assistant, Screen Reader, or any option that sounds like it's narrating your screen. You're good to go!

What About My Computer?

Watching HBO Max on your laptop or desktop? We can fix that too.

Go to your computer's system settings. Find the Accessibility settings, just like on your phone or tablet.

Turn off the screen reader or narrator feature. Problem solved!

Why All the Fuss About Narrator?

The narrator feature is actually very helpful. It’s designed for people with visual impairments.

It describes what's happening on the screen. This helps them understand the content of the movie or show.

However, if you don't need it, it can definitely be a bit…much. Especially during intense scenes!

A Quick Tip for the Future

Accidentally turned on the narrator again? Don't panic!

Most devices have a quick shortcut. Look for a button on your remote that says "AD" (for Audio Description). Pressing it can toggle the narrator on and off.

Play around with your device's settings. You might find even quicker ways to control the audio.
