Plan alternative text for each type of multimedia content (<video>, <audio>, <object>, <embed>, etc.)

Plan alternative text for each type of multimedia content embedded in the page using the tags <video>, <audio>, <object>, <embed>, for example.

This alternative text will provide the same level of information to people who cannot access the multimedia content (no plugin, old browser, etc.).

It can take the form of HTML content for example.

Tip

When a video is displayed on a page, its transcription can be considered as an alternative.

In this example, the calendar is carrying information, and a button “Calendar text transcript” leads to alternative text in HTML format.
