Frequently asked questions
- What makes a video accessible?
Accessible videos need to feature full and accurate captions, audio descriptions, and transcripts
- Do all videos need to be made accessible?
If a video contains meaningful, critical information, it needs to be remediated and made accessible, according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
- Are the automated closed captions offered by popular video platforms accessible?
Auto-generated captions, like those featured on YouTube, are about 60-70% accurate on average, and are often not synced correctly
with the video. They may also incorrectly convey non-speech

If a video contains only a single person speaking to a camera, then captions and a transcript will suffice, and audio descriptions will not be required
