Higher education institutions face increasing obligations under ADA Title II and the European Accessibility Act to ensure all digital content, including extensive video libraries, is accessible. A primary challenge is understanding the current state of video captioning compliance. This article underscores the necessity of comprehensive third-party caption audits; assessing both the presence and quality of captions against benchmarks like the Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) guidelines. Such audits provide institutions with detailed reports on non-compliant video assets and estimated remediation needs, forming the foundation for strategic accessibility initiatives and informed budgetary decisions.
