This type of media can be used for a variety of reasons: podcasting, social media reels, marketing commercials, instructional videos, peer review, vlogging, etc. Given the visual and audible nature of this content, it’s possible for people who are blind or have low vision to miss important elements of a video recording and for people who are deaf to miss important elements of an audio recording. There should always be at least one alternative for experiencing this media provided on your distribution platform. This ranges from audio transcriptions, to closed captions, to audio descriptions.
