Providing Accessible Webcasting

From live event captioning to ASL video interpreters, WCAG, VPAT, and ACR, GlobalMeet ensures that our webcasts are accessible for both you and your audience.

Our Accessibility Features

To ensure your company’s audience understands your message when it matters most, GlobalMeet’s webcasting platform provides multiple accessibility features to help support your audience’s unique needs:

Event Captioning

- GlobalMeet offers both automated captioning and professional captioning for live, simlive, and on-demand events, allowing your audience to read clearly what a presenter is saying.

Sign Language Interpretation

- To support the needs of hearing-impaired attendees, GlobalMeet partners with sign language interpretation providers to allow your webcast to showcase simultaneous sign language interpretation of your presenter’s message.

Multi-Language Support and Translations

- To truly be “Global”, we partner with a multitude of translation providers, as well as ensure that our team members are multi-lingual.

Video Player Support

- We utilize cutting-edge video player technology to provide the latest and greatest with W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliance.

Multi-Browser Support

- However your audience accesses the internet, they can access GlobalMeet. Our sales engineers will even work with your IT team to make sure your company’s network firewall provides no barrier to entry.

Accessible Webcasting Platform Design

True accessibility goes beyond captioning and browser access. At GlobalMeet our product team works hard to make sure our platform itself is easy for your audience to navigate by design, keeping their focus on your event rather than how to access it.

Cognitive Inclusion

- We strive for our platform to have an inclusive design and experience for both admins and attendees. Clear language, supportive tool tips, and information architecture are our guideposts.

Color & Contrast

- Our product team and our event production managers make sure that our platform and your events meet the WCAG standard for color contrast to ensure your onscreen text is both brand compliant and legible.

Keyboard navigation

- Our attendee experience is built with tab through interfaces for keyboard control in addition to traditional mouse and trackpad navigation.

Alt Text

- To help the visually impaired and screen readers, GlobalMeet allows you to add alt text to the imagery on your event screens.
