In video you have in bottom right corner 3 dots align vertically. Press on them and you will have Caption mood on/off.
Hope this help.

17,400 PointsSame problem with Firefox here, apparently, as mentioned in the console, the error is that it won't accept "mixed" content, considered a threat to security, it however works fine on Safari (...I don't know why but on that one I prefer the blocking due to security...) or if you download the video and your subtitle file from VLC (for instance)...
