Definition
Video accessibility refers to design practices and technologies that make video content usable by people with disabilities, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing, blind or low vision, or have cognitive or motor impairments. Key accessibility features include closed captions (for deaf/hard of hearing), audio descriptions (for blind/low vision), full transcripts, keyboard-navigable video players, and adjustable playback speed. Accessibility is required by law in many jurisdictions (ADA, Section 508, WCAG 2.1) and is increasingly expected by platforms and audiences.
