Turning off Audio Description on Sky Q is a quick and straightforward process using your remote control.

Audio Description (AD) provides a narration of visual elements in a programme, such as actions, settings, and body language, for viewers who are blind or visually impaired. If you have audio description enabled and no longer need it, you can easily switch it off.

Steps to Turn Off Audio Description on Sky Q

The method for turning off audio description depends slightly on the type of Sky Q remote you are using.

Using the Standard Sky Q Remote

  2. Toggle Audio Description: A menu will appear on your screen. Use the navigation buttons to highlight the Audio Description option. Press the Select button to toggle the audio description setting. Each press of the Select button will switch it between On and Off.
  3. Dismiss the Menu: Once you have set Audio Description to Off, press the Dismiss button to close the menu. The Dismiss button is usually located to the left of the Home button, which is directly below the down arrow on your remote.

Using the Sky Q Accessibility Remote

If you are using the Sky Q Accessibility remote, there is a dedicated button for this function:
