Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for presenting caption information based on volume setting adjustments are provided. The method comprises: during playback of a video content item in a media playback application, causing a volume interface that corresponds to the media playback application to be presented, wherein the volume interface includes a lowest volume setting and a caption interface element; determining that a first user selection has been received that causes the volume interface to be at the lowest volume setting of the volume interface; in response to determining that the first user selection has been received, causing the video content item being presented in the media playback application to be in a mute state in which audio content associated with the video content item is muted, updating the volume interface by positioning a highlight region over the lowest volume setting, and presenting a contextual interface element that indicates the mute state of the media playback application; determining that a second user selection has been received that corresponds with decreasing volume of the audio content associated with the video content item while the video content item being presented in the media playback application is in a mute state; and, in response to determining that the second user selection has been received, updating the volume interface by positioning the highlight region over the caption interface element, presenting the contextual interface element that indicates a caption state of the media playback application, and causing caption information associated with the video content item to be presented.
