Description
A video component was found without captions. Each video element must have a child track element with an attribute of kind and a value of captions provided, for each srclang (source language) version of the video made available. If the video source URL is provided via the video tag's src (source) attribute, then at least one appropriate track as described above should be present.
How to fix
Ensure each video element includes child <track> elements with 'kind=captions' for all language versions available. Add a <track> element with src pointing to a caption file and srclang indicating the language.
