video accessibility [was: WCAG]

Hi Jeroen,

We can briefly answer your questions about how we have implemented the video. Please note that this reply is not legal advice.

We use "AblePlayer" media player. It is free, open source. Info is here:
 https://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer/
That page includes steps for implementing the player.

> "how does it work to integrate the transcript"

That is a feature of the player. It uses the captions file.

We are working on a resource on "Making Audio and Video Media Accessible". The draft-in-progress starts here:
 https://wai-media-guide.netlify.com/design-develop/media/
Maybe you find that helpful, or you have suggestions for improving it?

Best regards,
~Shawn

As a local government administration of the city of Antwerp we are taking alle the necessary steps to comply with this regulation. For video content with audio it is mandatory to provide both captions (with desciption of loud sounds, change of scenery, name of the speaker when a change of speaker occurs and that person is not visible in the scene) for the hearing impaired and audio description for the blind and viewers with bad eyesight.
