I don't know of any way to watch YouTube from FreeDOS. Maybe someone
else here knows how to do that.

I haven't created a transcript, but I speak slowly and clearly enough
that YouTube is able to autogenerate an accurate closed captioning. I
usually watch YouTube with captions (because I watch a lot of UK
videos, and some accents are hard to figure out without captions) so I
know the FreeDOS YouTube video captions are pretty close.

I'm watching the "Using the Advanced Setup in FreeDOS 1.3 RC4" video
with captions right now, and YouTube correctly captions "freedos" and
things like "fdos" (when referring to the "FDOS" directory) and "adv"
when I talk about "Setup Advanced" and mention "setup adv." YouTube
correctly captioned that.

Sometimes YouTube captions "FreeDOS" into "fridos" but overall I'd say
the autogenerated captions are 99%+ accurate.
