Eric,

This is part of a larger template designed before built in closed captioning existed (back in 2015). Our internal accessibility branch required that we have an indicator in the focus order showing whether there was closed captioning or audio on a slide. The captioning text is derived from the Caption variable and displayed via the master slide. Whether the slide displays captioning is dependent on the state of the audiostate1 button on the base layer. We have around 900 learning objectives built in this template and thus we have not switched over to the built-in functionality.

    Hi MarkNolker,

    I've forwarded them to our product team to help with their investigation and to give them better insight into how we might improve the Accessibility Checker feature.
