Captioning is a difficult and time-consuming process, and trying to handle things in-house has just resulted in many CrossingsCon videos being inaccessible for yearsβeither viewable, but with only YouTube's auto-captions, or not on our YT at all, neither of which is a satisfactory state of affairs.
