YouTube Live accessibility?

Hi all!

I just joined, so this is my first post to the forum. :)

I've recently been asked at work how accessible YouTube live is. Since it's a live feed I suggested that a live transcript/captioning would be appropriate which they weren't thrilled to hear. But I'm still trying to look into the service to see if Google might be doing anything about it (I don't know if Google's auto-captioning works?) or to see what, if any, alternatives there might be.

Appreciate any thoughts/advice!

Cheers,
Maya
