Hi Jon, thanks for recording! I'm excited to watch this. Do you happen to know why captions aren't enabled on your videos? Oftentimes the issue is that the video's primary language isn't set. Once this is done, youtube will probably caption the rest, though I'm not sure if that's true of videos of all lengths.

Hope you enjoy it! I have captions "enabled" (and primary language set) on all my videos, but my experience has been that YouTube is very hit-or-miss with whether it adds auto-caption to longer videos (somewhere around 2h seems to be the limit). Sometimes it appears later, it just takes a while, other times it just never manifests. It's unfortunate, but as far as I can tell there's nothing I can do about it :'(
