Avoid costly mistakes, disengaged learners, and accessibility complaints before you hit “publish.”

Video is one of the most powerful tools in your training and communication toolkit. Whether it’s onboarding a new employee, updating teams on policy changes, or delivering skills development — video gets the message across faster and more engagingly than static slides or PDFs.

But only if it’s done right.
And “right” doesn’t just mean good lighting and tight editing.

If you’re in Learning & Development (L&D), internal comms, or corporate training, ask these three critical questions before you release your next video to the masses:

1. Can everyone access this video — really?

If your video lacks:

• Closed captions
• Audio descriptions
• A complete transcript

…then no — everyone can’t access it.

That includes:

• Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing employees
• Blind or low-vision team members
• Neuro diverse learners
• Non-native English speakers
• People working in noisy environments
• Mobile-first learners who need silent mode

Accessibility isn’t a ‘nice to have’ — it’s a basic requirement for equitable training and legal compliance under WCAG and workplace inclusion standards.

Ask yourself:

"If someone can’t hear or see this video clearly — can they still succeed in this training?"

2. Is this video built for how people actually learn?

Not all brains are wired the same — and yet most training videos are made as if they are.

• Fast-talking narration
• Complex visuals with no explanation
• Long unbroken scenes with no visual hierarchy
• No pacing controls or summary formats

These may work for some — but alienate others, especially neuro diverse learners (ADHD, autism, processing differences).
Thinking about accessibility helps everyone:

• Captions boost retention
• Transcripts support skimming and review
• Audio descriptions fill in what visuals miss
• Thoughtful pacing improves clarity

Ask yourself:

• Hosted on an LMS
• Shared across teams or departments
• Reused in future onboarding or compliance cycles

…it needs to be future-proof.

That means:

• Transcripts for searchability
• Captions for LMS integration
• Descriptions for assistive technologies
• Export-ready formats that won’t break in 6 months

Accessibility = sustainability.
Accessible videos can be reused, updated, repurposed, and shared without rework.

Ask yourself:
"Am I creating something that works now — or something that will work everywhere, always?"

The Fix: Make Accessibility Your Default
