MP4 Video with Audio Description
These examples show MP4 videos that contain both the source audio and the audio description.
Merged Transcript & Description
This example shows a video along with a merged text document containing both the transcript and the description, which is the best accommodation for deaf/blind viewers.
Extended Audio Description

3Play Plugin
Our plugin allows you to add description to videos on players that don’t otherwise support it.
3Play Plugin
The 3Play Plugin allows you to add description to videos hosted on players that don’t support description – even to videos you don’t own. In this example, we’ve added the 3Play Plugin audio description features to a YouTube video embed from MITK12Videos to make it accessible without republishing their video. Test it out:
Instructions:
- Press play on the video.
- Audio description is on by default. Press the AD icon to turn description off or on.
- Press the AD sliders icon to equalize the volume.
- Press the AD volume icon to mute AD.
- Use the AD volume slider to change the volume of your description independently from the volume of your YouTube video.
MP4 Video with Audio Description
Most video players don’t support the use of a secondary audio track or video source associated with your original video. If you don’t want to use the plugin above, you can publish a second video with audio description. Note that you won’t be able to turn audio description off.
The below examples show MP4 videos that include the source audio and audio description.
Merged Text Doc
A merged text output that contains both the transcript and description is the best accommodation for deaf/blind viewers. Below, you can view an example of a video playing with audio description and captions alongside a merged text document.
Extended Audio Description
If your video has very few natural pauses in the audio track or has extensive/complex visual content, your video may require extended audio description. This service pauses the video to allow for longer descriptions when there is not enough space to sufficiently describe the visuals in your video.
