Hello,

I have two questions regarding videos that I'm hoping someone may know the answer to.


1. If a URL with important information is shown as text in a video but is not spoken by the presenter, is it acceptable to include the URL in the closed captions and/or audio description? If not, what would be an appropriate alternative?
2. In a prerecorded video, a banner displaying the event name appears at the bottom of the screen. When closed captions are enabled, it overlaps the banner. Does this situation violate any WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria?


Thanks,
Christine
