Hi Imran,

A couple of recommendations. Do you host your videos in Totara or through another provider? In the Academy, for example, we host our videos through Youtube which gives us the option to add closed captions. It can autocaption as well, but we find putting our own transcript in to be much more accurate. We also upload a separate transcript as well in PDF, which is great for a read through and quick reviews of information, but captions tend to be more useful when they're right in the video.

I'm sure other folks have helpful ideas about how they make content accessible as well.

Cheers!
