Faculty Guide -- Library Media Accessibility

Video sites on the Internet

Most online media players have an option to turn on Closed Captions. There is generally a button that can be clicked to turn captions on. The button will have the “CC” symbol.

Please Note: YouTube videos have the option to display “Automatic Captions” however this may not be an acceptable accommodation because of its high inaccuracy (although this technology is improving). It’s recommended that the faculty member preview the captions being generated to see if they are adequate.
