Accessibility Statement for Gobi Stories Video Player

Last updated: April 20, 2025

‍

At Gobi Stories, we are committed to making our platform inclusive and accessible to everyone—regardless of ability. That includes our Gobi Distribution Tool, the video player used to deliver and display employee stories on job ads, career pages, and other channels. We believe storytelling should be universally accessible, and we are continuously improving our tools to support users of all abilities by aligning with recognized accessibility standards.

Compliance Status

The Gobi Distribution Tool currently meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards. We are also actively working toward incorporating elements of Level AAA compliance in future updates to offer the highest level of accessibility for our users and viewers.

Built-In Accessibility Features

We’ve designed the Gobi Distribution Tool to include a wide range of accessibility features:

‍

1. Keyboard Navigation
  • Complete keyboard navigation across all interface elements
  • Visible focus indicators on all interactive components
  • Keyboard shortcuts to control video playback:
    • Space / K: Play or Pause
    • M: Mute or Unmute
    • J / Left Arrow: Previous chapter
    • L / Right Arrow: Next chapter
    • F: Toggle fullscreen mode
2. Screen Reader Support
  • ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes applied throughout the interface
  • Role and state information clearly communicated for all controls
  • Progress updates during playback announced for screen reader users
  • Accessible instructions for keyboard shortcuts
  • Alternative text for all visual interface elements
3. Visual Accessibility
  • High contrast controls (minimum 3:1 contrast ratio)
  • Full support for up to 200% zoom without loss of content or functionality
  • Reduced motion support for users who prefer minimal animations
  • Consistent focus styles to assist with navigation
4. Video Content Accessibility
  • Built-in support for:
    • Subtitles
    • Closed Captions
    • SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing)
    • Compatibility with audio descriptions and video descriptions
  • Downloadable transcripts in the following formats:
    • Plain Text, HTML and VTT
  • VTT track support for better integration with assistive technologies

Content Creator Responsibility

While the Gobi Distribution Tool offers all the features needed to deliver accessible video content, the actual accessibility of each story depends on how it's created.

‍

We encourage content creators to:

  • Add captions and subtitles
  • Provide audio or text-based descriptions where necessary
  • Include alt text for images and stickers
  • Use clear and descriptive link stickers

Making inclusive content is a shared responsibility—and we’re here to support you.

The Gobi Distribution Tool has been tested and optimized for use with:

2. Assistive Technologies
