Captions & Video Accessibility

Ensuring your video content is accessible is crucial for inclusivity. William & Mary provides tools and resources to help you add and manage captions effectively.

Panopto Automatic Captions

All videos uploaded to Panopto are automatically captioned using machine-generated speech recognition (ASR). While these captions provide a useful starting point, they must be reviewed and edited to ensure accuracy, especially for course-specific vocabulary and proper names.
