WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Make your online videos accessible with sign language interpretation, subtitles, or versions in other languages.
The Video Manager platform gathers your videos in one place
Easily showcase your video content on your website or create your own video portal! There are many popular video platforms. Our fully accessible video player supports subtitles and multiple audio and video tracks. Additionally, it offers sign language and audio descriptions for the visually impaired. Thanks to an intelligent speech recognition engine, you can generate subtitles in just a few minutes, saving time and resources. Quick and convenient.
Save time with auto captioning
Auto-generate subtitle suggestions directly in the tool via GDPR-compliant servers in Scandinavia. Make corrections and publish. Done!
Branded Video Portal
You can easily create a video platform for your company. Choose a graphic profile from several templates and customise it to match your brand.
Work more efficiently with all your videos on one platform
Using Video Manager has many advantages compared to having a separate video platform.
First and foremost, it is fully integrated into Mediaflow, and you can manage videos the same way as images and other media files. Your employees don't need to learn multiple systems, and you get several other standard features in Mediaflow. For example, you can tag with keywords, set user rights, and link videos to a GDPR consent.
Moreover, you can share videos and collaborate using Web Share. You can publish the videos in your Media Portals or Player Portals and embed them on your websites and intranet through Mediaflow's CMS integrations. There are also integrations with other video platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.
In addition to these standard features, our Video Manager offers extended video functionality, including creating accessible videos, in compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
Creating an accessible video is easy
Mediaflow's video player supports subtitles, audio description, sign language interpretation, and alternative audio/video tracks, for example, to make versions in other languages.
You can also display the subtitles as a transcript, meaning a text version that appears in a separate box. The video player complies with all the WCAG 2.1 level AA requirements, such as keyboard navigation, screen reader support, clear contrasts, and accessibility for colour-blind people. See below for more details on the video platform's accessibility features.
Automatic transcription of subtitles
Subtitling makes a video more accessible. In addition to supporting manually uploaded subtitles, Mediaflow offers the option to transcribe subtitles automatically.
You can avoid the time-consuming task of transcribing the video yourself and easily edit the text directly in Mediaflow's subtitle tool. However, if you prefer to write your subtitles, you can do so directly in the video tool.
Create a video with audio description
You can attach a separate video or audio track containing an audio description to a video in Video Manager. Viewers can then choose to watch the audio-described version in the media player. Simple and, most importantly, accessible.
Capability for sign language interpreted video
With our video platform, you can easily attach a sign language interpretation track to your online video. Choose whether the sign language interpretation should be displayed with the video either as a separate video track or as a standalone box placed on top of or beside the original video. That's what we call accessible video!
Make your online video available in multiple languages
Upload alternative audio and video tracks in other languages and link them to your video. When the tracks are activated, it's easy to seamlessly switch between them in the video player.
Create a Play Portal tailored to your company's brand
By getting a Play Portal through Mediaflow, you can customise a page entirely to your company's brand, with your logo and colours.
You can tailor the content by sharing your videos from Mediaflow's media bank, adjusting the texts and teasers on the homepage, and deciding which video categories should be available. It's also possible to allow visitors to download the videos.

Accessibility requirements that the player complies with (WCAG AA 2.1)
Clear logic for how to navigate with tabs and other keys.
All functions have text descriptions that explain their purpose. This is to ensure that a screen reader can understand and use them.
All visual elements are designed for visually impaired users, with clear contrasts between elements.
The player is designed to always work on different devices, when the browser is zoomed in, or when a zoom tool is used.
No elements use colour as the only way to convey information. The player is tested for different types of colour blindness to ensure clarity even when a person doesn't have full-colour vision.
