Video Requirements

Videos & Caption Quality Requirements

Per California law and Federal law, videos need to be accessible BEFORE being posted online.
There are four general accessibility rules for videos on a website:

video player
  1. Make sure the video has been captioned accurately and includes punctuation.
  2. Avoid making “slideshow” videos that have text displayed on the screen with music as the only audio.
  3. Video should be optional to watch. Do not hide important content within a video's content as it will be harder for a user to search for.
  4. Videos must be uploaded to Youtube and embedded directly onto a webpage. Links to GoogleDrive hosted videos and/or OneDrive are NOT accessible and will be removed if found on the website.
Request Professional Captioning
You can request for a captioning file or transcript to be created for your campus-related videos for FREE!
