[NABS-L] YouTube TV doesn’t have video Description

[Kaden Calahan]

Hello,
I’ve been a regular subscriber to YouTube TV since March of 2018, and
I must say that although it does not provide an option for audio
described content, the accessibility of this service across a wide
range of platforms is outstanding. Additionally, Google is always
expanding this television outlet by adding more channels and content.
I have been thoroughly impressed with its ease of access, as I have
successfully used and enjoyed YouTube TV on Chromecast, Apple TV, PC,
Android and iPhone. Its simple interface allows for quick and
efficient access, and that, along with its stability, makes
subscribing to the service worthwhile, despite the absence of audio
described content, to me, at this point. Highly recommended.

Best,
Kaden Calahan
