Hosting accessible webinars is no longer a question of best practice; it is essential for any presentation.

Imagine going through an elaborate webinar presentation that half the audience is struggling to read due to the tiny font in which it is typed out! Or, worse still, one where you have visual material with killer graphics and some of them are unable to see any color as it is not designed to include color-blind people.

FAQs

Accessibility in webinar slide design ensures that all webinar participants, including those with disabilities, can access and understand the material as it’s offered. This removes barriers for people with visual, hearing, or cognitive impairment, allowing equal opportunities for engaging with the material.

Ensure your slides are designed for visual accessibility: use high-contrast color combinations, readable fonts, and clear layouts. 

Images and graphics should complement the content and be easy to understand. Provide a descriptive alt text for all photos so screen readers can get the context. Provide summaries in the alternative text for data-intensive images. 

Address a learning style by incorporating all the visual, auditory, and textual approaches. Using bullet points for short texts, diagrams, or infographics, with audio or video, is also an effective way of addressing visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners.

Use Polls, Surveys, and Q&A Sessions as Interactive Elements. Consider accessibility when designing interactive elements such as polls, surveys, and Q&A sessions. Use all alternative response methods, including keyboard, voice, and chat, and ensure all the elements are keyboard accessible.
