How to Comply

Audio descriptions are an additional audio track that narrates what is happening visually during pauses in dialogue. For dense videos with little pause time, an extended audio description (pausing the video) may be needed. Link to an audio-described version or enable it via a button in the player. This is a more demanding requirement than Level A's option of a text alternative.

Common Failures

• ✕Relying on a text transcript instead of an audio description at Level AA
• ✕Audio description track not linked or accessible through the media player controls
• ✕An audio description that skips key visual events
