Accessibility 101 Suite: Video Presentations

In this set of Accessibility 101 resources, the Ability Central team introduces you to accommodations for video presentations.

Viewed from the back of the room, a large group of people sit in folding chairs facing a projector screen in a nicely decorated office space, waiting for the video presentation to begin. One man in the audience wears sound-amplifying headphones.

Welcome back to Ability Central’s “Accessibility 101” series, where our team identifies and offers solutions to the most common accessibility difficulties we’ve seen in the workplace. In this resource set, we introduce you to accommodations for video presentations.

Do you remember the 90s-era TV commercials where lights flashed, words flew in from off-screen, and everything was (inexplicably) acid green? 

It’s no surprise that we left this style back in the 20th century. Video presentations are still an integral part of modern workplaces, whether they’re training videos, client pitches, recorded events, or your boss’s kid’s sixth-grade piano recital.

When these videos are too distracting, flashy, or difficult to understand, they hinder more than help your team, especially colleagues with communication disabilities. Instead, it’s important to know which elements to emphasize in a video presentation and which to leave behind. 

In the Accessibility 101: Video Presentations collection, we walk you through the best ways to make video presentations accessible at work. We break this topic down with accessibility best practices you can apply before, during, and after your presentation. 

You’ll learn:

  • How to make video content accessible

  • How to offer accommodations ahead of video meetings

  • Communication tips for planning and promoting your video presentation

  • Accessibility tips for speakers and video presenters

  • What to include in post-presentation follow-ups
