Powerpoint Video Accessibility

for

From: Levon Spradlin

We're trying to find some info on the best approach to inserting videos
into Powerpoint files without making them inaccessible. The video we're
trying to insert has captions, but JAWS and NVDA both don't see the video
or player controls. We've thought about just dropping a link to a web page
where we can embed a video with a player that supports captions. We're
trying to avoid requiring users to install add ons, since we are publishing
these files publicly. Are there any resources or recommendations that
anyone has that could help guide our approach?

thanks,
Levon
