[Athen] Facebook starts providing autocaptioning

[Jennifer Sutton]

ATHENites:


If memory serves, it's been possible to include captions with Facebook 
videos for a while now, by uploading your own.


Below are two articles about the gradual introduction of 
auto-captioning; it sounds like the auto-captions will be "editable," as 
we have seen for YouTube, I believe.


Best,

Jennifer
