Visual interpreted video

How video with visual interpretation works in Streamio

Streamio is constantly working to improve the accessibility of online video. We therefore now have two different options for working with audio described video in Streamio. You can either choose the Audio described version or work with Multiple audio tracks.

Audio described version

• Start by uploading both versions of the video to Streamio as usual.
• Then, go to the library and select the non-audio-described version.
• Scroll down to the Accessibility tab and the Audio described version box.
• Tap the icon in the bottom right corner to select the audio described version.

If you now watch the video, there is an icon to switch to the Audio described version in the upper right corner.

Multiple audio tracks

• Start by uploading a video to Streamio with multiple audio tracks.
• Suggested, audio track 1 should contain the regular soundtrack and audio track 2 should contain the visual interpretation.
• When the video is uploaded to Streamio, locate it in the library and press the Accessibility button.
• Under Multiple audio tracks, specify what the different audio tracks should be called in the player.
  • In the first line, type the title that will be displayed for audio track 1 in the player.
  • In line 2, enter the title for audio track 2, etc.

When you’re done, press the Update button.

Now when we watch the video, the audio description icon will appear.

When we click on it, we can then choose to listen to the visual interpreted audio track.
