If you find a keyboard or mouse difficult to use
If you find a keyboard or mouse difficult to use, speech recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking (external link) may help you navigate web pages and online services. This software allows the user to move focus around a web page or application screen through voice controls.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, there are several accessibility features available to you while viewing our YouTube channel.
Captioning
A caption is transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally rendered visually by being superimposed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio (e.g., when in a crowded room). Many of IYBA's video content includes captions. Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube. (external link)
Volume controls
Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device's volume controls and your media players' volume controls to optimize your listening experience.
