Thanks so much for this. I bought an Amazon Fire Stick the other day and was trying much of yesterday to figure out how to get captioning on Disney+ but couldn't find it. I managed to find it on BroadwayHD but couldn't on Disney+. Did what you said, hit Play, and there was the box up in the right hand corner, which enabled me to set the captioning. Am inviting some friends to watch Hamilton, all of us somewhat hearing challenged, and this will make it very easy to follow for those not all that familiar with the score. When I first saw Hamilton on Broadway, I decided to try a hearing device, which I'd not used before. The woman giving them out said I would love it and would understand every word. I have asked for one ever since and will do so again once we can all get back to Broadway.

My pleasure. Glad that process worked for you.

Was surprised that the subtitle/caption capability was not under "Settings".
Having that grey icon visible only *after* hitting "Play" strikes me as counter-intuitive.
Once found, I used that feature a lot while watching on Disney+. (Had not seen HAMILTON live, though have listened to the cast recording).

Happy viewing!
