Hi Laura, burning the captions in would make them less accessible as users could not adjust the size, color, and other aspects of the captions through user styles. WCAG allows for both open or closed captions -- but unless there is some compelling reason why closed captions could fail to load they would be preferable compared to burnt in open captions.
