YouTube Gaming must provide closed captioning for live streaming channels

The Issue

After the conclusion of E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) coverage with Geoff Keighley and a number of game journalists, YouTube did not provided closed caption during the event coverage to testing a new gaming service, YouTube Gaming, will be launched soon after the recent announcement. As many of the deaf/hard of hearing spectators who likes video games can be frustrating on lack of accessibility. We would like to ask Google/YouTube to allow research new auto-generated closed captioning system for YouTube Gaming before the launch.
