Including captions in recorded lectures, webinars, livestreams, and social media videos helps create more inclusive communication.
Captions support accessibility for students and the public who are deaf or hard of hearing and also benefit multilingual audiences, viewers in noisy environments, and anyone consuming content without audio.
Auto-generated captions can provide a starting point, but they should always be reviewed for accuracy. Including captions in recorded lectures, webinars, livestreams, and social media videos helps create more inclusive communication across campus.
Add and review captions before publishing video content.
