Hi there! I wanted to add this link because AblePlayer accepts WebVTT for captions and chapters, and can even parse captions that were added to YouTube and Vimeo videos. The media player is also focused on accessibility. Additionnally, AblePlayer is able to display the WebVTT captions as a clickable, interactive transcript which can skip to the specified content. In my research of HTML5 video and audio players, this is the only one I'm aware of which does all of these things.

In terms of connection: I'm not affiliated with this open source project directly. I just use the library in my own websites and wanted to add the reference in the docs.
