[Ohio-talk] new free video player from AFB

[Deborah Kendrick]

Aleeha,
Actually, it is meant as a standard player as well, I'm pretty sure, which
means you download it to use on YouTube and such.  
At least I do hope that is correct because for those of us who don't have
sighted people constantly in the vicinity, there is currently no accessible
option.  You either play the whole thing or not!
Deborah

After reading into this article, I discovered that the player is for
developers to download and install into their websites. HTML5 has made
drastic accessibility improvements in many areas, including YouTube. But, as
with many things, the responsibility falls on the developer of the website.
We, as consumers, do not need to download this player. I think it's a nice
effort, but I'm not so sure that it's going to go very far.
