[Athen] youtube captioning question

[Doug Hayman]

Howard,

I don't get why they'd want/have a "no captioning even if you'd want it as 
a viewer" setting.  Makes no sense.

We'd seen the same for one of the upper-level UW youtube pages where it 
appeared that it had been toggled off and couldn't be turned on by the 
user.

If you go into your video channel and pick that video then start the 
process of editing/creating captions does it then make your automatic one?
