From what I've seen, the live traffic is split -- sometimes you'll get YouTube and other times you'll get the Brightcove player. I'm not sure why they would do this without unblocking YouTube in the meetinghouses (at least for the weekend), but it appears that's what they're doing. Perhaps try a new...

I'm seeing this as well. Started yesterday for me.

I heard from an inside source at CHQ that they decided to discontinue this format. I would definitely make sure you voice your opinion via the feedback link on the main LDS.org page if you want this format back. It was definitely my preferred format to listen to so I hope they bring it back!

Will closed captions also be available on any of the live streams or with downloadable mp4 files? We have a few people in our stake that are hearing impaired. On the live streams English captioning will be available. For on-demand files (both streaming and download) captions are added about 7-10 da...
