From Risk to Ready: Making Videos Accessible at Scale

As video becomes central to communication, instruction, training, and marketing, accessibility is no longer optional. It is a legal, operational, and reputational responsibility for organizations across education and enterprise. Yet as video libraries grow and content creation accelerates, many institutions struggle to keep pace with evolving accessibility expectations.

Join Yennhu Nguyen, Director of Client Success, as we explore the risks associated with inaccessible video and examine how organizations can move from reactive remediation to a scalable, proactive approach. We will discuss what accessible video truly requires, including caption quality, audio description, and ongoing quality assurance, while highlighting practical strategies to support accessibility across large and diverse video libraries.

Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of where accessibility risk originates, how to reduce exposure without slowing content creation, and how to create video experiences that are inclusive, compliant, and engaging for all viewers.
