Web Accessibility: Social media

Social Media platforms are essentially websites containing user-generated content.  It is important to always address the accessibility of Social Media content and provide alternatives when necessary. 

 

Make your social media accessible

Best practice is to upload a .srt caption file to your video. Otherwise, make sure that auto-captions created by YouTube or TikTok for each video read correctly. Snapchat captions must be added manually.

 

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter have the ability to edit on images.
