Quick accessibility test: Captions

Captions are used by many people; people who have hearing disabilities, people who are in a noisy environment, people whose first language is not the one used in the video. When captions are not provided, all these people have no access to the information in the audio track. 

Check that all videos on your website have captions; these can be permanently displayed, or be available for people to turn on. 

A video from the TetraLogical YouTube channel. The Closed Captions control is activated and captions appear on the video player.

Checking that captions are accurate and synchronised with the video content is also important; while automated captions can be useful in some situations, they should not be relied on.
