An ADA-compliant video library ensures that all users, including individuals with hearing, vision, or cognitive impairments, can access video content. Compliance requires captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, and accessible playback interfaces across all videos in the library. Organize Metadata and Structure Organizing your video content in a structured way. Each video in your library should not just have a video file but also metadata such as title, description, caption file, transcript file, and audio description file. By storing this metadata in a database or content system, the library knows which accessibility resources belong to which video. This structure makes it easier to display captions, transcripts, or alternate audio when users need them. { 'id': 'video-001', 'title': 'Employee Training Part 1', 'url': 'https://cdn.example.com/videos/training1.m3u8', 'captions': 'https://cdn.example.com/captions/training1.vtt', 'transcript': 'https://cdn.example.com/transcripts/training1.txt', 'audio_description': 'https://cdn.example.com/audio/training1_ad.mp3' } Add Captions for Every Video Captions are the text version of spoken words and sounds. They are used for people who cannot hear. You create a caption file (like .vtt) and link it to the video player. When a user enables captions, the browser displays the text in sync with the video. This ensures deaf or hard-of-hearing users can understand what is being said.
Provide Transcripts Transcripts are full-text versions of the video’s dialogue and descriptions. They help users who prefer reading or who use assistive technologies like screen readers. Transcripts can also be searched, which helps with navigation in the library. By placing transcripts below the video, you ensure the content is still accessible even if captions are unavailable or if a user prefers reading over watching. Add Audio Descriptions Audio descriptions are narrations of important visual details, such as scene changes or on-screen actions. Blind or visually impaired users rely on these descriptions to follow the video. You provide this as an alternate audio track or separate file. The player must allow users to switch between the standard audio and the described audio. This connects back to metadata, where you stored the audio description file. Implement Accessible Video Player Even if you have captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions, the player itself must be usable. The player should be able to display captions, switch audio tracks, and provide clear buttons for controls. Each button needs an ARIA label so screen readers can announce what the control does. Without an accessible player, the extra resources you added earlier cannot be properly used. Example button with ARIA:
CC
Keyboard Navigation The video player must work for users who rely on the keyboard instead of a mouse. All controls, such as play, pause, seek, and captions toggle, should be reachable with the Tab key and activated with Enter or Space. To make navigation faster, the player should also support common keyboard shortcuts. For example: Space → Play or pause the video C → Turn captions on or off Left/Right Arrows → Move backward or forward in the video These shortcuts allow users to control the player quickly and consistently across devices. Library Interface Accessibility The video library is not just a collection of players. It also has an interface for browsing, searching, and filtering videos. That interface must be accessible. Forms and search fields need proper HTML labels, results must be keyboard-navigable, and screen readers must be able to announce them. Without this, users could access individual videos but might struggle to find them in the first place. Example

Testing and Validation Testing confirms that the video player and library meet accessibility standards. Captions and transcripts should be checked with screen readers such as NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS or iOS, and TalkBack on Android to ensure they are announced correctly. The color contrast of the player interface must be validated so that text and controls remain visible to users with low vision. It is also important to check that captions and transcripts stay in sync with the audio and video. Finally, accessibility evaluation tools like Axe or WAVE can be used to review the video library interface against WCAG requirements and identify any issues that need fixing.
