What

Neither audio description nor media alternative are provided to describe visual information within video content to blind or visually impaired users.

There are no captions to present the audio within the synchronised media to deaf users.

Code Ref(s): #\39 14291272

Solution: Please ensure an audio description is available to describe video content to screen reader users. An audio description should provide, for example, information about actions, characters, scene changes, and on-screen text that are important and are not described or spoken in the main soundtrack. Also consider a media alternative which provides all of the information within the video in text. Please note, this will meet the A standard, but to achieve the AA standard, audio description is still required.
