Video & Audio
Basic Principle
Audiovisual material requires using multiple techniques to make it accessible. Captions, subtitles and transcripts support Deaf and hard of hearing people, while audio description allows people who are blind or low vision to understand the visual components. Other techniques such as avoiding autoplay and ensuring media can be paused make it more accesssible to people with sensory processing and focus needs.
Questions to Ask
- Make sure media does not autoplay
- Make sure all media can be paused
- Confirm any videos have captions
- Confirm any audio media has transcripts
