Closed Caption

The closed-caption icon represents a feature that provides subtitles or captions for video content, making it more accessible to a wider audience. This icon is often used in video players, media platforms, and devices to indicate the availability of captions. The closed-caption icon is widely recognized and understood to symbolize the option to display text-based subtitles for spoken content.

In video streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, and Vimeo, the closed-caption icon is commonly displayed as a button or option, allowing users to enable or disable captions. Similarly, in media players like VLC, the icon is often used to toggle captions on and off. This icon is also used in devices such as TVs, smartphones, and tablets to provide an easily recognizable symbol for captioning.

From a UX perspective, the closed-caption icon communicates the availability of additional content that can enhance the user's viewing experience. By providing a clear and recognizable symbol, users can quickly understand the functionality of the icon and make informed decisions about their viewing preferences. The icon helps users navigate interfaces and access features that can improve their engagement with video content.

Closed Caption is one of 15,862 icons in Material Symbols, made by Google and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ClosedCaptionIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-closed-caption.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed ClosedCaptionIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Closed Caption icon, or any of 15,862 Material Symbols icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Closed Caption", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ClosedCaptionIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ClosedCaptionIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Material Symbols, Google and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
