Video Description
A video description is a spoken or written narration that details the visual elements of a video, such as actions, settings, and expressions, to make content accessible to people with visual impairments. In modern digital contexts, it's increasingly used on platforms like YouTube and Netflix not just for accessibility compliance but also to enhance user engagement and inclusivity across diverse audiences.

Audio descriptions, a primary form of video description, were first widely implemented in the 1980s through efforts by organizations like the American Council of the Blind, and today, they are required by law in over 50 countries' broadcasting standards, helping more than 285 million visually impaired people globally access mainstream entertainment.
