I am totally fed up with these live videos..............where are subtiles for the deaf. There are millions of us.

I keep writing about deaf people but substack seems to totally ignore subtitles!

Why don’t they have this feature? Captions should be mandatory.

Thank you Kate. You are the on;y person who has commented in a favorable way.

The minute I see these videos without subtitles I don't join.

Every person on substack is missing thousands of viewers!

Greed is the 'American way' so I suggest you do not forget deaf people!

I agree with Kate. They should be mandatory as that allows a vast number of people to not only digest but also engage.

A very silly oversight by Substack.

Thank you Aiden. Lack of foresight by substack again and again. I have been here for a long time/they keep doing changes BUT nothing for the deaf.

Any help you can give would be helpful.

I haven’t used the feature and have no plans to in the short to medium term. I came to Substack to write articles but that doesn’t mean I won’t in the future.

It’s a basic mistake and oversight by Substack way back at the planning phase. This could have been picked up in the testing phase but doesn’t seem to have been - no clue why.
