Waiting for a student to raise their hand isn't an accessibility strategy.

That's the reality behind ADA Title II, and it's one a lot of universities are still wrestling with.

Audio description isn't just a compliance checkbox. It's about making sure students who need it never have to ask for it in the first place, because some won't.

The full video (linked in the comments) breaks down how universities can build a proactive audio description strategy, not just react to accommodation requests.

🚨 The ADA Title II deadline is one month away. 🚨

April 24 is coming fast, and a lot of universities are more exposed than they realize. Auto-captions look like compliance, but they often aren't.

Your library might average 90% accuracy. But some videos are at 95%, others at 60%, and right now there's no easy way to tell which is which.

That's exactly what Pulse is built for. It audits your video library at scale, scores each file for predicted caption accuracy, and shows you where to focus your time and budget before the deadline hits.

Most universities are still asking, "do we even need audio description?"

The April 2026 ADA Title II deadline is weeks away, and AD remains the most misunderstood piece of the compliance puzzle.

Not every video needs it.

But figuring out which ones do, and building a process around that, is where teams get stuck.

In our latest Countdown to Compliance webinar, Erik Ducker breaks it all down:

- When AD is actually required
- The difference between standard and extended description
- How to audit your library and prioritize intelligently
- Publishing options and what a sustainable workflow looks like

If your institution is still operating on gut instinct here, this one's worth your time.

Stop guessing. Start complying.

Tomorrow at 2 PM ET, we’re going beyond the basics of captions to tackle the "missing piece" of digital accessibility: Audio Description (AD).

With compliance deadlines for public institutions looming, "we’ll get to it later" is no longer a defensible strategy.

Don’t wait until a deadline hits to build your strategy.

When: Tomorrow, March 11 | 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT

One Vision, Six Languages: See You at Entech Fest!

We believe that great innovation shouldn't have a language barrier.

As we gear up for DEG Entech Fest, the team at 3Play Media wanted to do something special to showcase how we’re bridging the gap between global content and local audiences.

To celebrate the spirit of the event, we took DEG's promotional video and gave it a 3Play makeover—dubbing it into six different languages.

Pulse by 3Play Media is the new standard for continuous video accessibility monitoring.

Most organizations feel they have captioning "figured out," but relying on auto-captions alone leaves significant gaps in quality and compliance.

Between inconsistent caption quality and the widespread uncertainty surrounding Audio Description (AD), how do you know if your video content is actually compliant?

This brand-new solution moves you from "guessing" to "governing" by providing an automated, ongoing audit of your entire video ecosystem.
