Adopt Video Accessibility Features Now to Future-Proof Your Videos
By 2031 people at risk of disability and people with disabilities will represent 40% of total income in Ontario. That is a massive portion of the public that you are losing if you’re not considering their individual needs.
In Ontario, accessibility is required by law, specifically the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. These are the legal requirements that you must follow to be more accessible to people with disabilities.
