FW: Social Media, Live: real-time accessibility

I've seen numerous articles on captioning for Facebook Live and YouTube Live, but very little that can be used by event managers who are not necessarily accessibility specialists as detailed instructions to follow. Has anyone put together FAQs or other informational articles/instructional materials on accessibility of live streaming within social media? Both Captioning and Audio-Description, for Facebook Live and YouTube live (are there others, too?), in real-time as well as how to do any remediation post-event for archive availability.
Thank you in advance,
Gary

what if the first question we asked was, "what is so unique about this situation that it justifies exclusion? instead of, "how much does it cost to make it accessible?
