Tips for accessible video

• Must have captions that are synchronized with the spoken dialogue and non-speech sounds

• Narrated track that describes critical visual information such as scene changes, on-screen text, or actions not conveyed by dialogue

• Text transcripts that include dialogue and non-speech sound and context

• Ensure onscreen text and graphics have 4:5:1 contrast ration and use clean sans-serif fonts at readable sizes

• Avoid content with too many flashes

• Disable auto-play

• Clear speech with minimal background noise

• Do not use color alone to convey important information
