Make Your Videos and Audio Files Accessible to All
Tufts is committed to providing accessible videos and audio files. The easiest way to do this is to use closed captioning—a technique of displaying the captioned text when needed. Tufts' Captioning Policy applies to all videos and audio files created or posted after June 30, 2022 and requires that all videos and audio files created for use by the Tufts community include closed captioning. For most video and audio, closed captioning is easy to do and costs nothing.
