[WG: Accessibility] New idea for linking Accessibility documentation

[Mary Stores]

Hi Neal,

I have found the best solution is that if someone requests the video be 
sent as an attachment over  email, they can then play it in their own 
media player. I am glad you sent the Jing video, though; it has been 
several years since I tried to access videos from there, and it's 
always good to know whether or not things might have changed. Thanks 
for your description. I have a clear understanding of what is going on 
now.

I currently don't know of any video uploades sites that don't have 
accessibility issues. I do watch Youtube videos, and in a roundabout wy 
you can listen to Facebook videos. But other than that, I would have to 
do some research.

Mary
