Quick reference: accessibility requirements for online audio and video
The purpose of Guideline 1.2 of WCAG 2.0 is to provide access to time-based media and synchronised media for people with disabilities by providing an alternative format.
This has ramifications for those who work with all online video and audio content, including:
- audio-only
- video-only
- audio-video
- audio and/or video with interaction
The media types are also separated in pre-recorded and live media.
