For the past few weeks I keep having Live Captions taking over the screen and I do not have Live Captions enabled (they are disabled). This is very annoying and need to find out how to disable this feature that is already disabled in Windows 11 Settings.

How can I turn off this annoying feature as it is making it hard to watch videos. Soon as I close the smaller captions window, it opens right up again. I cannot close the large white background captions screen. Some times there are two or three dark background caption screens. I do not have this feature enabled and do not need it enabled.

Thanks.

After search and searching for a solution, as soon as I posted this problem, I think I found the setting.

In Google Chrome 149.0.7827.22 Settigs > Accessibility I disabled the Live Caption setting. This setting was not there before and Google Chrome just updated today.
