Video Accessibility

Description

Better video accessibility everywhere.

Display video transcripts next to embeds, toggle between two videos, and display a site-wide statement all in a single block.

Features

• Display a scrollable video transcript next to a video embed. Upload a plain text file transcript or create one in admin.
• Switch the embed player to display a second video. Ideal for displaying audio-described and non-audio-described versions of a video.
• Display a site-wide statement next to each embed.
• Responsive one or two column layout
• Intuitive block that supports two videos and multiple sidebar panels
• Customizable colors and fonts – block inherits existing site styles

Benefits

Improve site-wide video accessibility by

• Displaying transcripts next to embeds
• Providing the ability to switch between two videos in the same embed (which allows for seamless display of audio-described and non-audio-described video)
• Presenting a site-wide message (which could be your site’s accessibility statement)
