    This plugin makes adding videos and captions very easy. The player gives the user more choices and makes the video more accessible. Just linking to YouTube is not enough.

    This player supports audio, video and can deliver captions, descriptions, chapters and transcripts. It has many features that make it user friendly and accessible to screen readers and mouse only users.

    It uses validated Web Video Text Tracks (WebVTT). Don’t rely on YouTube auto captions. Make sure to edit them for accuracy before saving your file as a WebVTT. Make sure to use the Use the?WebVTT Validator?to check your file.

    If you are teaching classes, the chapter feature adds a level of accessibility not found elsewhere.

    The plugin uses a shortcode if you only want captions. If you want to have descriptions or chapters, you will need to use HTML.
