Streaming Accessibility Readiness Checklist

One-page checklist for streaming accessibility: the two content tracks (captions and audio description), the WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA success criteria a player and app are judged on, the US (CVAA + ADA), EU (European Accessibility Act + EN 301 549), and UK law by region, and the build-once architecture that ships tracks through the pipeline and WCAG through one design system.

Our seven-volume handbook covers the whole video stack; start with Volume 3 for subtitles, players and delivery, then Volume 4 for audio description, loudness and accessible sound. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
