[Athen] Audio Description for video w/ no sound?

[Corrine Schoeb]

Hi everyone,

This is a two part question - do we need to do audio description and can it
be done with a YouTube video.

We have a video which plays a prominent role on one of our giving campaign
websites.  The video is aerial scenes of our college - it has no sound and
no one is speaking.  I think the video does convey a feeling and is
certainly showing different locations on campus which could be identified.

I'm wondering if we should be adding audio descriptions for this video or
if a title is sufficient?

The other pertinent piece of information is that the video is coming from
our YouTube channel.  Adding Audio Description to a YouTube video seems
problematic.  The only option I've found so far is YouDescribe.  Are there
other options you may know of?
