Captions allow someone who cannot hear the audio of a video to still understand its overall content. Although this seems obvious, it is beneficial to deaf people and to people who may have difficulty hearing. It is also beneficial when the program is noisy.

Summary Points:

• Ensures the content of the video is understood to a person who cannot hear

• Captions should have high contrast (3:1) against a dark background and font size for readability (20+ font)

• Minimum 80% opacity for a text block background

• This process can be quickly added to any video in 2023 for free

• Omitting captions and sounds reduce overall users
