 * How do I add a `<figcaption>` to a video? Since the HTML generated includes `
   <figure>`, I am thinking that for accessibility, `<figcaption>` would be better
   than simply placing a heading or paragraph text above or below the video.
 * By the way, EmbedPlus for YouTube magically fixed a problem I was having when
   trying to embed more than one video on the same page – even for the videos embedded
   prior to installing your plugin. So if I can just figure out how to add a figcaption
   below each video in a page full of videos, I will be ecstatic!
 * Thanks!

 * I figured out a fairly easy workaround:
    - Embed the video.
    - View the page
    - View the page source
    - Copy the HTML into an HTML block
    - Insert `<figcaption>`_You text here_`</figcaption>` just before `</figure>`(
      or just after `<figure>`, depending upon where you want it)
    - View the page again. The video should now be there twice, the second time 
      with the caption.
    - Remove the `embed` block (but not the HTML block)

 * Glad you got a workaround. We can explore this idea further.
