While this behaviour of VLC Media Player might help users who always watch movies with subtitles, those of you who rarely take the help of subtitles to watch movies might find this feature annoying as one needs to right-click on the video file, click Subtitle, click Sub Track, and then click Disable in order to stop VLC from showing subtitles for the current video file. With default settings, as you likely know, VLC Media Player loads subtitles if the video file has embedded (built-in) subtitles or the subtitles file is present in the same folder (with the same title) where the video file is located. Even though, VLC Media Player lacks the some of the advanced features present in GOM while dealing with subtitles, features offered in VLC are sufficient for most users.

While watching a video, you can right-click on VLC Media Player, click Subtitle and then click Add subtitle to select the subtitle file.

Just like other video playback software, the popular VLC Media Player also supports subtitles.
