Audio Descriptions

WCAG 1.2.7 Extended Audio Description (Prerecorded) is a Level AAA success criterion, requiring videos to include extended spoken descriptions of visual content. When pauses in the main audio don’t fully convey the video’s meaning, extended audio descriptions are provided for all prerecorded, synchronized video content.

WCAG 1.2.5 (Level AA) requires audio description for all prerecorded video content in synchronized media.

1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) requires an audio description or alternative for synchronized media—unless the media is clearly labeled as a text alternative.
