ACCESSIBILITY TASK · REVIEWED AUGUST 31, 2026
Caption, Transcript and Video Control Check
Generated or promotional video needs synchronized text access and controls that do not depend on sight, hearing or precise pointer use.
This task records scoped evidence. It is not accessibility certification, legal advice or a universal result.
What this page owns
Check captions transcripts and controls for generated companion video.
Begin with the named task and preserve the setup. Do not turn a product statement, automated scan or reachable page into proof that a person can complete the task.

- 02
