Copyright and transcripts
<p>Am I breaking copyright law if I embed an educational video on my site and also provide a transcript of the video?</p>

<p>I have searched the w3c website as well as Youtube and cannot get a clear answer.</p>

<p>Assuming the video is copyright and you are not the rights holder:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>embedding it is copyright violation unless you have permission (linking is OK). For example, YouTube allows this if it is done in accordance with their Terms of Service.</p></li>
<li><p>making a transcript is copyright violation unless you have permission.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>In either case, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use" rel="nofollow noreferrer">fair use</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">fair dealing</a> defences might apply depending on your circumstances.</p>
