Re: Best Practice for interaction between Closed Captioning and Audio

As a deaf person, I prefer seeing a closed captioning button available where
I can easily access it to turn on captioning. If just providing a mute
button to turn on captioning then very bad idea. Why would I want to 'mute'
something I can't hear!!??

Why mute audio of video if cc is turned on?

My thoughts and opinions.
