Accessible Video ContentWhen including video and/or audio content on your site, you are required by law to ensure they meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. This means ensuring you are providing closed captions/subtitles and transcripts where required. Show
If your video has audio content, captions are required. This is a requirement for both pre-recorded and live video content.
You need to include closed captions/subtitles on any video with spoken dialogue. Therefore, in any video when someone is talking, subtitles should display what is said. What are closed captions?Closed captions are a text version of the spoken part of a video. Captions are called 'closed' captions because they are hidden, until they are opened by the viewer from a menu to view. It is the same as choosing to turn subtitles on when viewing a TV programme. On your website, the user can choose to turn captions on when viewing your video. Example of Closed Captions displayed on a Mediasite video:  Example of Closed Captions displayed on a YouTube video: Adding Captions to a Mediasite VideoTo add captions to a Mediasite video, the staff member needs to register for the Mediasite Learning and Teaching group.

WCAG 2.1 regulations require all audio content published to the web to be supported by text equivalents. This means all audio podcasts require a transcript. What is a transcript?A transcript is a text based translation of the audio content of a video or podcast. This should also include notes on who is speaking if there are multiple presenters. It can be presented either as an accompanying accessible pdf or form part of the text of the web page itself.

Captioning & TranscriptsCreating captions and transcripts for your videos is a simple but important step to ensure everyone has the opportunity to engage with your content and that you're complying with legally required digital accessibility guidelines. Creating Accessible VideosEvery time you create a video to be shared with others, you will need to follow a few simple instructions to ensure that video is properly captioned.

Include non-speech sounds in your captions.Be sure to caption noises too! Music, applause, laughter, nature sounds, sound effects, etc. all communicate information in your video. Those who can’t hear the video won’t know about those sounds unless you tell them in your captions by putting these sounds in brackets as they play. For example: [Laughter] or [Applause]. Add Captions More QuicklyIf you need to add captions to a video after it's been recorded, we recommend uploading the video to Microsoft Stream using your Teams account to add auto-captions to your video. You will still need to review the captions and make corrections, but Teams' captioning accuracy is some of the very best for auto-captioning software. Using Microsoft Stream for Captions and Transcripts Audio FilesIf you are sharing an audio-only file like a podcast or another audio recording, you should provide a transcript of the audio via an accessible document or on a web page. The link to your transcript should be readily available from the screen where you are sharing the audio file. MusicIf you need to share an audio file that is all or mostly music, your accessibility liaison will be able to help determine the best way to communicate that content in an accessible way.
