Hello. I recently found a video embedder plugin that works well with
WordPress and validates perfectly with a strict doctype. But I realize
validation does not equal accessibility, so what exactly needs to be done to
make video accessible? Is it a matter of adding a subtitle track?

Thanks for your help.
