Hi All,

I have a quesiton around Subtitles and Captions using webVTT. I have no problem getting VTT to work with the Azure Media Player in the browser, but how do you get it to work via a hls stream to an iPhone that use AVPlayer in full screen. I assume it has to be present in the m3u8 manifest, but how do you do that dynamically?

    @John Deutscher (MSFT) Is Microsoft looking at this? For accessibility it would be advantageous to be able to support CC on AVPlayer
