Some tips to make it accessible:
Add subtiltles to your videos, reels and TikToks:
On TikTok, go to create your video in TikTok, then tap the Captions button, let it process, and that’s it!
On Instagram, go to Reels. Upload your video, then go to stickers and tap captions. You can edit them if you want.
Add ALT text:
According to hubspot ", alt text is the written copy that appears in place of an image on a webpage if the image fails to load on a user's screen."
When you're at the caption screen on Instagram, go to advanced settings, then alt text, and write your alt text. Keep your alt text short and sweet like a tweet, don't include an image of or photo of, and don't include it at all if it is decorative.
Multiple Slides:
Multiple Slides:
When creating a post with multiple slides, add the text from the post in the comments by doing something like {Slide 1} {Slide 2} and so on.
Capitalize each word of the Hashtag or hashtags:
Capitalizing hashtags allows screen readers to correctly read each letter.
Example: #ArtistSupport #ArtistSupportPost #ThisIsANewTagForArtists
Add image descriptions to captions:
