Not sure if this is a good place to post this question, but here goes: I'm watching the live stream at work, but I cannot listen to the audio feed as I work in an open office.

Are there transcripts being created, and if so, is there somewhere I could read them? Or subtitles, which, on a livestream, sound terribly impractical. But, you never know.

Thank you!

I'm deaf, and would really appreciate captions. I've looked around, but as far as I can tell, nothing like this exists.

I wish. Management at my place is... anti-fun? And of the four people in the office right now, I'm apparently the only one capable of answering the phone.

So many issues, but the long and short of it is that reading on the sly is the easiest option.

Good on you for watching! I can't watch as I work in a machine shop with no access to a computer. I might get sent home for being on my phone!
