player. The only caveat is that you need to have a copy of the video’s caption file that you can upload to Amara’s website, so this is problematic if you don’t own the video.

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Short story - YouTube made an update yesterday that broke the ability for captions to be viewed on any embedded videos. As a result they are not showing on videos in our Canvas classrooms (and it's
finals week here!), captions are not showing up on all of our public-facing videos on our college website and elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">This is a HUGE accessibility issue. When I checked earlier today, it hadn't made it onto their list of "Known Issues." It's bit tough to reach a human at YouTube but I did send them a note on their
"Provide Feedback" link at the bottom of most pages. There is a bit of chatter on stack overflow.com (as you can see in the message below) but nothing elsewhere that I could find. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I want to make sure they are aware of the issue, its implications about accessibility and how it should be their #1 priority to fix but I think they need to hear from more a11y's. Can you chime
in?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">They will probably fix it eventually, but this is one of the hazards of using YouTube; they are constantly changing their APIs, and their developers and QA team don't always have accessibility (or
usability) top-of-mind. If it's any consolation, it looks like this is happening with all YouTube embeds, not just on Canvas, so they are probably hearing a lot of screaming right now from accessibility-minded folks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">No video player is perfect, but if you care about accessibility this is another example of why to use video players that are designed for accessibility, like the
