1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)

Updated on October 6, 2025

Goal

Provide captions for all prerecorded video with audio so that users who are deaf or hard of hearing can understand the spoken content and important sound effects.

Captions must include:

  • Dialogue (who is speaking, what is said)
  • Important sounds (music, laughter, [door creaks], etc.)
  • Synchronisation (appear in time with the audio)

Quick Checklist

  • ✅ All prerecorded video with audio has captions.
  • ✅ Captions include dialogue + meaningful sounds.
  • ✅ Captions are synchronized with audio.
  • ✅ Use closed captions (toggleable) rather than burned-in when possible.

This ensures compliance with WCAG 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded).
