The steps are slightly different depending on whether you have the standard remote or the Accessibility remote.

Here’s how to switch off audio description:

  2. Press the ? button. This will bring up an accessibility menu on your screen.
  3. Within this menu, find the option for Audio Description.
  4. Press the Select button to toggle the audio description setting. Pressing it will change the status from On to Off.
  5. Once audio description is turned off, press the Dismiss button to close the menu. The Dismiss button is located to the left of the Home button, which is directly below the down arrow on your remote.

• Using the Sky Q Accessibility Remote:

  1. Find the dedicated AD button on your Accessibility remote.
  2. Press the AD button. This will also bring up the accessibility menu or a direct toggle option.
