Re: Audio description and captions

Not exactly contrary, but if the AD is optional it would be ideal to give users the ability to choose between captions with and without AD included. For example, some neurodivergent individuals benefit from a close 1:1 correlation between audio and visual. If they have AD turned off but are seeing it in the captions, that could be confusing.

Thanks, Patrick. Anyone have a contrary view?
