DCMP Implements New Player-Based Captions and Description
To ensure that all media in DCMP's video library is always accessible, captions have been "burned in" or "open," meaning the captions are physically part of the video. Likewise, audio description has been added to each video's main soundtrack. Beginning in April, 2020, captions and description began transitioning to "player-based," meaning that these accessibility features are comprised of separate tracks that can be toggled on and off by the viewer. To continue DCMP's commitment to ensuring each viewing of every video is accessible, at least one accessibility feature will always remain on. All new content will have player-based accessibility upon release, and existing content will gradually switch to player-based as we quality check each one to ensure proper functionality.

All About DCMP Response Cards
Each time you view media, we ask that you provide valuable feedback by completing a Media Response. These responses are required, as the information collected helps to justify the need for the DCMP and maintains government support (which keeps the DCMP a free service).
