accessible media
Content everyone reaches
Accessible media refers to content—audio, video, text, or digital materials—designed or modified so people with disabilities can perceive and interact with it.
This includes captions for the deaf, audio descriptions for the blind, screen-reader compatibility, and alternative formats like braille or large print.
The term encompasses both media created with accessibility built in and retrofitted accommodations.
The streaming service now offers accessible media options for all its original programming.
