Description: Making live streams and streaming platforms, players, and apps accessible is a key concern for anyone delivering D2C content as well as those fostering streaming-based communications behind the corporate firewall. Whether meeting broadcast or W3C accessibility standards, providing captions and transcripts is critical. While AI has emerged as a convenient, cost-effective, and widely used vehicle for improving the accessibility of live and VOD content, all AI captioning solutions are not created equal, and content providers’ opinions vary on when and where it’s appropriate to use. This session explores best practices and requirements for making streaming, VOD, and conferencing content more accessible; how the enabling technologies are evolving; and how streaming platform and channel providers and producers are practicing and implementing streaming accessibility today.
