        "content": "An LG Smart TV *can* support audio descriptions (sometimes called \u201caudio description,\u201d \u201cvideo description,\u201d or \u201cdescriptive audio\u201d), but whether you\u2019ll get them on a particular app (Netflix, Now, ITVX, etc.) depends on whether:\n\n1. The **app** provides audio-described content;  \n2. Your **LG model** supports the feature;  \n3. The **program/tv show or movie** actually has an audio description track;  \n4. You\u2019ve enabled the feature in both the TV settings *and* inside the app\u2019s/audio settings for the content.\n\nHere\u2019s a breakdown of how this works and what to check for popular services:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 LG TV: what you control\n\n- In almost all modern LG smart TVs (running webOS), there\u2019s a setting under **All Settings \u2192 General \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 Audio Description** (or called \u201cVideo Description\u201d on older webOS versions) to turn this feature *on or off*. ([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-how-to-enable-audio-description--20153209057639?utm_source=openai))  \n- LG also has something called \u201cAudio Guidance,\u201d which is different: that\u2019s for narrating the menu interface (making it easier to navigate visually). It\u2019s separate from audio descriptions of shows. ([lg.com](https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-how-to-turn-onoff-audio-guidance--20153119188011?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udcfa App-by-app: examples\n\nBelow are a few services and whether they support audio description when used on LG TVs (or in general).\n\n| Service | Is audio description supported on LG / compliant devices? | Notes / Caveats |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Netflix** | Yes. Netflix offers a large selection of shows/movies with audio descriptions (called \u201cDescriptive Audio\u201d). LG TVs with the app allow you to select that track if it's available. ([help.netflix.com](https://help.netflix.com/en/node/116022?utm_source=openai)) | Some content will *not* have an AD track. Also need to switch within the audio settings during playback. |\n| **ITVX** | Yes. On-demand content on ITVX offers audio description on many platforms, which includes LG Smart TVs. ([help.itv.com](https://help.itv.com/support/solutions/articles/204000073872-itvx-accessibility-guidance?utm_source=openai)) | Not all ITVX platforms, or all types of content, have it; it isn\u2019t available for *all* live/FAST channels yet. Live TV via ITVX is a work in progress. ([help.itv.com](https://help.itv.com/support/solutions/articles/204000073872-itvx-accessibility-guidance?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **NOW / Now TV** | Yes, on selected shows/movies and apps (including when using NOW Smart sticks or boxes). ([nowtv.com](https://www.nowtv.com/gb/help/article/accessibility-support?utm_source=openai)) | The feature depends on whether the show has AD; it's not supplied by NOW for every title. Sometimes defaults can be glitchy or settings remembered incorrectly by the device/app. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/nowtv/comments/1sjbwbu/audio_description_stuck_on_with_lg_now_tv_app/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Important qualifiers\n\n- Even if a service *supports* AD, **not every title** will have audio description. It\u2019s content-dependent.\n- The LG TV\u2019s own setting must be \u201con\u201d for display of AD tracks if the content/app supports it. If it's off, even a descriptive audio track won\u2019t play by default.  \n- Inside the streaming app during playback, you usually need to switch to the descriptive audio track from the audio options (often labeled \u201cEnglish AD\u201d or similar).  \n- For *live TV channels*, or *fast/ad-supported/streaming channels*, AD is less consistently available. Apps like ITVX support AD mostly for on-demand content, not always for live. ([help.itv.com](https://help.itv.com/support/solutions/articles/204000073872-itvx-accessibility-guidance?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Bottom line\n\nSo, to answer your question more directly: **No**, an LG Smart TV does *not* have audio description on *all* apps *all the time\u2014but many apps do, many LG TVs support it, and many shows have it. Just depends on those three factors above.\n\nIf you tell me which specific LG model you're using (e.g. a C2 OLED, or a specific year like 2022), and which country you're in, I can help you check precisely *which apps* and *which content* you\u2019ll have AD available for. Do you want me to look that up for your setup?"
