Hmm, do you have to turn on audio description or will it start doing it automatically?

Subsequent episodes and other AD enabled content plays all of the audio, including the AD track, in stereo., as expected. For those who may be interested, I have the Paramount Plus iPAD / iOS and Apple TV app working perfectly. I created my account, via Safari web browser and selected the annual subscription which includes Paramount Plus essentials and ShowTime without ads for $119. I do have the 7-day trial period so, I can cancel at anytime during the next 7 days but will not do so as there is a lot of content that I look forward to enjoying during the next 12 months.

Is there a fix for this? Why must these things be so difficult?

The audio description is available. Do you have to turn it on in every episode in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The third season is the best! And if you have Paramount+ you can also watch strange new worlds which is even better! JODY To Boldly Go 🖖🏻 mailto:thunderwalker...@gmail.com "What's within you is stronger than what's in your way."

I purchased the first episode of Star Trek, Picard, on Prime Video, today, and was surprised at how compelling the first episode was. I did not think it would be as good as the big 4, if you know what I mean; but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact that Prime listed the series as having an AD track, the first EP, does not; at least it does not have one in Prime. And you can forget about an AD track in iTunes. So disappointed. I know that a while ago, a list member informed us that Apple does not offer the AD track for Picard but I was hoping that this would change, alas, it has not. Even though I enjoyed watching the first EP of Picard, without AD, I know I will enjoy the series, more completely, with AD. So, as kind of an early Christmas gift to myself, I have decided to subscribe to Paramount Plus, at least until I have seen all of Picard. Of course I can and will sign up for the 7-day free trial but I don't want to provide info to yet another company unless I am reasonably certain that it will provide the expected service. It's really quite sad that, even in late 2023, audio description is so scarcely available. If you will allow me to wax philosophically for a moment: I will not be impress by this so-called new AI generation until it, AI that is, can be used to provide audio description to those of us who are blind or low vision, on the fly.
