Students, faculty, and staff can add and edit captions in YouTube videos.
To ensure that your YouTube videos are as accessible as possible, use the following best practices:
Manually edit auto-generated captions.
YouTube automatically generates captions based on its best guess at interpreting the audio. Understandably, it is not 100% accurate. Using auto-generated captions saves time, and manually editing the captions ensures that users with disabilities have access to all the video’s information
.
Edit the embed options.
Some features, like showing suggested videos when the video finishes, are difficult for assistive technology users to navigate.
Edit the embed code.
A few minor adjustments, like changing the default video player to HTML5, make your video display as accessible as possible on your page.
