Re: Question on video accessibility

Hi Kiran and all,

I encourage you to read through the W3C WAI resource:
 Making Audio and Video Media Accessible
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/

The page of that resource on description of visual information is:

I hope you find this resource helpful to understand the user experiences, learn about the issues, and provide a good solution.

Best,
~Shawn
