Captioning workflows are the technical processes that capture spoken audio and deliver captions accurately and in sync across multiple platforms. For hybrid events, this requires early planning to ensure captions display correctly across all required outputs, including on-site screens, virtual or webinar platforms, and on-demand or recorded content.
Connecting captioners early on in the planning process with the AV and production teams gives them time to develop workflows intentionally designed to align with the event agenda, audience needs, and technical requirements. This collaboration allows workflows to be properly assessed, implemented, and tested before the event begins.

The beginning of the year is planning season. Many companies set goals, approve plans, and lock in strategies. However, there’s a critical date event organizers might not have on their radar: April 24, 2026. That’s when the Americans with Disabilities Act’s new Title II rule takes effect, requiring state and local government entities with populations over 50,000 to ensure all web content and digital events (including livestreams and recorded broadcasts) comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. That means high-quality, accurate captions aren’t optional—they’re mandatory.
Compliance is only part of the story. Digital accessibility lawsuits are accelerating, with over 2,000 being filed in the first half of 2025 alone. These cases are hitting nonprofits, universities, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies alike. For 2026, it’s vital that organizations treat accessibility as a strategic advantage rather than just a box to check for compliance.

Studies have shown that using captions in videos increases video views by 40%, and 85% of Facebook videos are watched on mute. Adding captions to your video helps grab attention and stops the scroll within your target audience.
Captioning not only provides accessibility and makes your content more inclusive, but it can also improve your brand's engagement on social media. For your own benefit, and all viewers, add captions to your videos.
