How to Create Audio Descriptions for YouTube Videos BY Rebecca Klein VIA 3PlayMedia

 

Rebecca Writes: More than 1 billion hours of videos are watched on YouTube each day. 71% of people with disabilities leave a website immediately if it's not accessible. You don't have to be a mathematician to understand these stats and their implications.

 

If you want your YouTube videos to reach their full potential, you need to make them accessible with captions and audio description. But how?

 

Until 2023, YouTube didn't support audio description in the same way it supported captions. For captions, users could upload an SRT file with their video, but there was no similar solution for audio description.

This meant that if a user was going to add audio description, it had to be embedded into the video and uploaded as one version.

 

However, YouTube recently launched the ability to add audio description tracks to videos — a win for media accessibility!

 

While the audio description capabilities are not available to all users yet, YouTube indicates that they will continue to roll this feature out to more creators:

If someone told me, a couple of weeks prior, that I would be taking pictures of everything that crossed my path, I would have laughed in their face.

But there I was, sitting on the sidewalk, looking to capture the perfect shot that would allow me to learn a little more about the world I am a part of: the expression of the guide dog who is always by my side; the bustle of a busy street full of buildings, cars, and signs; the box of desserts I just bought, wondering whether it looked appetizing enough to bring to a family dinner.

I can't see these things,
