Accessibility Bytes No. 10: Presenting Animations and Videos in Meetings
Did you know that some people are unable to control animations, hear the narration, or see the information within pre-recorded videos played during meetings?
Whether you are presenting to a virtual audience viewing on a computer screen, an in-person meeting using a large display, or movie-size screen—or a mix of somewhere in between—accessible media must be used to avoid possible photosensitive reactions and ensure individuals can understand information conveyed via sound or imagery.

On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Access Board published a final rule updating accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act.
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP) is tasked under this law to provide technical assistance to help Federal agencies comply with these requirements, and ensure that covered ICT is accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities.
