Accessibility Guide: Embedded Content

Embedded content such as videos, maps, forms, or third-party tools must be approved before being added to a page.

Best Practices

  • Ensure embedded content includes a descriptive title so screen reader users understand its purpose. 
  • Videos should include captions and transcripts whenever possible. 
  • Avoid embeds that autoplay audio or video, as this can create accessibility barriers. 
  • Make sure embedded content is keyboard accessible and can be navigated without a mouse. 
  • Provide alternative ways to access important information if the embedded content cannot be fully accessed by all users. 
  • Test embedded content on mobile devices to ensure it is responsive and usable across screen sizes.
