Once Chromecast starts playing, you can change the subtitle language using the "CC" icon that appears in the lower left corner of your Android device's screen when Chromecast is active. To customize the subtitle style on your TV, you need to access the Settings menu available when you open Subtitles in the player on your Android device.
