The DCMP Description key may be of interest https://dcmp.org/learn/descriptionkey as it covers how to succinctly cover visual topics in audio description that you could apply in an integrated fashion.

Subject: [WebAIM] Creating accessible technical how-to video content

Hello All


My organisation is in the process of producing a series of how-to videos, to provide guidance to customers on how they should interact with one of our public-facing web applications. Each video shows a process being completed (for example, how to create an account) with the narrator providing a commentary.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good accessible example of this sort of video content? We will provide captions and a transcript, but the audio description element at least to my mind seems problematic.

Any guidance would be gratefully received.


Many thanks


Richard
