EAA Video Accessibility: Prepare for June 2025 (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Big changes have come to digital accessibility in Europe. Are you compliant? Starting in June 2025, video content across the European Union must meet strict accessibility standards, or face serious consequences. The European Accessibility Act, or EAA, requires that digital products and services be made accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. But what does accessible video mean? It starts with closed captions for all pre-recorded content, live captions for real-time events, audio description to convey visual information, sign language interpretation when needed, and a fully accessible video player. If you don't comply with the EAA, you could face fines exceeding €100,000, suffer reputational damage, or lose market access by having your content pulled. To meet the EAA's accessibility requirements, video content must align with established standards like EN-301-549 and WCAG. These frameworks ensure that content is not only technically compliant, but truly accessible to all users. That's where 3Play Media comes in. We help companies meet EAA requirements at scale.
