[Athen] video accessibility on Facebook

[Jennifer Sutton]

I don't know whether you've gotten answers to your questions, but 
perhaps this will be a helpful start:

https://www.facebook.com/help/509746615868430


Maybe you can follow up with Facebook directly, to see what they recommend.


I happened to see:

@fbaccess

tweet this link in the last few days because they've recently launched 
automatic captioning, if I understand correctly.


At least there seems to be a way to edit the auto-captioning, so the 
captions won't be "craptions" (not my term, but a good one, I think).


Best,

Jennifer
