JJ: Already partially discussed

Quintin: We should mention to respect the OS user settings
Quintin: Do captions need to identify speakers and significant sounds?

JJ: Is there a difference or difference in guidance from the Web 1.2.2?

JJ: Mostly on Web captions are not being picked up

Detlev: Players not picking up captions: Is this an app or browsing context?
