Just as you wouldn&#8217;t launch a website without first making sure people can access it, you shouldn\u2019t upload a video without applying the same principle.<\/p><p>Video accessibility can be achieved by implementing a range of different strategies; for example, adding live captions, so people with <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/deaf-accessibility\/\">auditory impairments<\/a> can follow along, or ensuring the video is navigable with appropriate controls.<\/p><p>Given that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/noncommunicable-diseases\/sensory-functions-disability-and-rehabilitation\/world-report-on-disability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15% of the global population<\/a> live with some kind of disability, it is likely that a significant portion of your target audience falls into this category. As a result, the importance of video accessibility cannot be understated.

Add accurate captions<\/h3><p>Captions serve a broad spectrum of the population. Not only are they essential for those with hearing impairments, but they also benefit non-native English speakers or those watching in noisy environments. Ensure your captions are an accurate representation of both the spoken content and important sound effects, like a phone ringing or a door slamming.<\/p><p>Captions should always appear on screen in sync with the audio and should be easy to read, both in terms of font size and color contrast against the background. Additionally, they should also be positioned appropriately on screen, such that they are not blocking any important visuals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-48b6274 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"48b6274\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7e9b6ed\" data-id=\"7e9b6ed\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f082dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f082dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>2. Include audio descriptions<\/h3><p>Audio descriptions are verbal narrations of what is happening on screen.

They describe actions, gestures, scene changes, and other important visual content not spoken in the video. When recording your narrations, ensure that these descriptions are concise and fit naturally within the pauses in dialogue, so that you do not overwhelm your listener with audible content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0876edf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0876edf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"3\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>3. Provide transcripts<\/h3><p>Transcripts serve as text-based versions of the video content. However, they are not limited to just spoken words, transcripts include dialogue and important visual cues too. They are particularly useful for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as those who prefer reading to watching, or those who like to refer back to previously mentioned points.<\/p><p>To make your transcripts truly accessible though, you must ensure they are easy to find. This means linking the transcript directly within the video player, or placing it somewhere obvious on the webpage in which the video is hosted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-38d8cd7\" data-id=\"38d8cd7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4242cce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4242cce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"439\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Accessible-Multimedia-Videos.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34030\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Accessible-Multimedia-Videos.png 439w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Accessible-Multimedia-Videos-300x294.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cc13bda disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cc13bda\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f4080ec\" data-id=\"f4080ec\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60b2bcb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60b2bcb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>4. Use clear and simple language<\/h3><p>In order to make your videos accessible to non-native English speakers, individuals with low literacy levels, or those with <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/news\/cognitive-accessibility\/\">cognitive disabilities<\/a>, you must prioritize clarity in all your communications. This means avoiding technical jargon or complex sentences that could confuse viewers. Instead, focus on delivering your message in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.<\/p><p>Imagine you are explaining how to use a software tool in your video. Instead of saying, \u201cutilize the integrated user interface to execute commands efficiently\u201d, you should say something like, &#8220;use the built-in menu to quickly run tasks\u201d. These subtle changes in language make a big difference, enhancing the effective transfer of information. Furthermore, before publishing, always review your script for simplicity, and consider testing it with a diverse audience (ideally with non-native English speakers or users with cognitive disabilities) to ensure it is clear to all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-067f67b disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"067f67b\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa580c2\" data-id=\"aa580c2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf7354c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf7354c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>5. Use an accessible video player<\/h3><p>Not all video players are created equal, especially when it comes to accessibility.

Offer multiple playback options<\/h3><p>Giving viewers the ability to adjust playback settings, like speed and resolution, is a simple but effective way to improve accessibility. For instance, people with cognitive disabilities might benefit from slower playback speeds, while others might need to increase the volume. Ensure these controls are positioned in obvious places so they are easy to locate, and consider providing tooltips or instructions alongside the video which explain how the user can adjust the settings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dde7f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9dde7f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"7\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>7.

High <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/color-contrast-accessibility\/\">color contrast<\/a> between text and background, for example, makes it easier for viewers with low vision to read. Avoid placing text over complex or moving backgrounds, and use a consistent color scheme that doesn\u2019t strain the eyes. Tools like contrast checkers can help you evaluate whether your video\u2019s visuals are accessible.<\/p><p>To make your transcripts truly accessible though, you must ensure they are easy to find. This means linking the transcript directly within the video player, or placing it somewhere obvious on the webpage in which the video is hosted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9acc7de disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9acc7de\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-79dbce2\" data-id=\"79dbce2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5259e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c5259e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>8. Ensure keyboard accessibility<\/h3><p>For viewers with motor impairments, who cannot use a mouse, <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/keyboard-accessibility\/\">keyboard accessibility<\/a> is essential. This means that all controls, such as play, pause, volume, and full-screen options, should be operable via keyboard shortcuts. Also, the tab order should be logical, so users can navigate through controls in a predictable sequence. Test your video player to ensure it\u2019s fully operable using only a keyboard, and consider providing a list of available shortcuts alongside the video.<\/p><p>Moreover, consider that your video player should be compatible with screen readers, which are used by people with visual impairments. Regularly test your video player with assistive technologies, and encourage users with low vision to provide feedback where appropriate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-11b7e87 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"11b7e87\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c99a98\" data-id=\"3c99a98\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b65f653 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b65f653\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>9.

Captions are a great example of this. They can be used by viewers in noisy environments, as well as non-native English speakers who need a bit of extra support to fully enjoy a video\u2019s content. In fact, captions are even used by native speakers who don\u2019t want to miss out on any subtle details.<\/p><p>Ensuring your videos are accessible isn\u2019t just a legal box ticking exercise, although government regulations do have a role to play. Video accessibility is about being fair to your audience, excluding no one, and providing a better experience for all. It extends beyond just your video and your website too. Adhering to strict <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/website-accessibility-best-practices\/\">accessibility best practices<\/a> helps set the tone for other organizations, contributing to a more inclusive internet space.<\/p><p>While this should be reason enough to begin investing in video accessibility, there are a whole host of business benefits that come along with it too, from greater audience reach and customer engagement to stronger brand image and recognition.
