I didn’t realize Tommy’s video was on X. I don’t use X, but I clicked on the link in the article and see his video was from his cell phone. I lclicked on the settings (gear), and noticed there is no option to play captions. I believe that Tommy would have had to add captions to the video before he posted it. I’ve never made or edited a video myself, but I assume there is a way for people to add captions to short videos they’ve made on their phones, as I have seen them with closed captions, but have no clue how it’s done. I subscribe to various YouTube channels, and have closed captions automatically set to play on every video. I don’t know if there’s an option on X for that.
| OK, that explains it! The FR post used the X video posting as its source. So apparently the post was not delivered to X in a close caption-ready format which is relatively simple using video creation tools. In any case, I'm like you: I often will look for the Youtube version of an issue posted on FR. |
