📺 Using video

A lot of Local Offer websites have used the video from the Council for Disabled Children on their "About" page.

This is a good example of using captions, which are essential for any video you use.

It's not just people with permanent hearing impairment who use captions. When you're in a public space, on a bus for example, reading the captions means you don't have to disturb other people.

Sometimes background noise or music is too much to hear the speaker clearly.

It's also a good idea to add the transcript from the video too. This helps people who just want to be able to read a part of the video again.

Transcripts help people find the page, as bots can read them to know what the page is about.

If you host your videos on YouTube, it's possible to automatically create, and edit your video captions.
