How to make video and audio accessible

Flashing video

Examples of flashing in video include footage of strobe lighting or lightening in a thunderstorm.

We recommend avoiding including flashing visuals in your video.

This is because they can cause people to have seizures or feel dizzy, nauseous or disorientated.

If you still want to include flashes in your video, you must make sure that there aren't more than three flashes per second.

You should also keep flashes small and make sure they have low colour contrast with other content. This can help to reduce risk to viewers.
