WCAG-accessible video player
A video player should work for everyone. When controls are difficult to see or navigation depends on a mouse, parts of your audience can be left out of the experience.
Our video player supports WCAG 2.2 AA and most AAA guidelines, with clear controls, high contrast, and adjustable playback. It also works with screen readers and keyboard navigation, with no custom development needed.
Audio description support
Some viewers rely on more than standard audio to fully understand what is happening on screen. Audio description helps make visual content easier to follow and creates a more inclusive viewing experience.
With support for multiple audio tracks and audio description, you can make your videos more accessible for people with visual impairments and give more viewers equal access to your content.
Transcriptions, translations and sign language support
Not every viewer takes in information in the same way. Captions, transcripts, translations and sign language support all help make video easier to understand, follow and access.
With Quickchannel, you can add manual or automated transcriptions, create subtitles in multiple languages and offer downloadable transcripts. You can also support sign language interpretation through a dedicated video window, making your content more inclusive for viewers with hearing impairments.
