[Athen] youtube captioning question

[Howard Kramer]

Hi Teresa,

Yes, I saw that statement. I think the sound quality is decent on the video
(perhaps a little background noise) I uploaded but I may try others just to
test. It would be nice if the system provided feedback that the video was
rejected. Otherwise, it's just a guessing game.

Thanks,
Howard
