Disabling Auto-Captions on Facebook

Facebook automatically enables captioning on all live videos. As a result, closed captions appear on videos when the sound is muted. If a person watching the video unmutes the video, the captions will disappear. People watching the video have the option to turn on captions at any time, even when the sound is on.

Note: It is not possible to disable automatic captioning for videos in Groups.
