Accessibility Info
Minor accessibility issues include focus order moving to the top of the page when in the My Media page and chapter timeline functionality not being usable by screen readers. Keyboard shortcuts for the Kaltura player only work when the player is in focus and shortcuts cannot be turned off or remapped.
Accessibility of content is reliant on the creator to have accurate captions and transcriptions on both video and audio content.
