How do Viewers know if captions are auto-generated?

Hi There
We feel that it would be helpful if viewers know that the captions they are seeing have been auto-generated. Just in case there are any inaccuracies or confusion that they may wish to check out.
Is there any way for a user to currently see that the CC are auto-generated? We can see this as Creators/Admins, but how do students know? YouTube, for example, includes an auto-captions feature and displays "Auto-Generated" when they start, to let users know that the caption may not be exactly what was said.
If there isn't such a thing, I'll submit a feature request.
Thanks!

Hi @Sebastian Pope,
At this time, there isn't an indication of whether captions were auto-generated or human-transcribed. I would suggest submitting this as a New Feature Request.
Best wishes,
