StreamZilla
Features Accessible video player
An accessible video player, for everyone
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA. Ready for the European Accessibility Act.
The StreamZilla player, website and pages are built to WCAG 2.2 level AA. Every video gets subtitles and a transcript automatically, and the player can be operated by keyboard, with enlargeable subtitles and buttons and a high-contrast mode.
An audience you exclude is not an audience. Accessibility is not a checkbox for us, it is part of how the player is built.
Free during the beta. For organisations. Nothing to pay.
Captions for every video
Subtitles and a transcript are created automatically at upload, and delivered as segmented WebVTT according to the specification.
Operable for everyone
Fully keyboard-operable, with visible focus, enlargeable subtitles and buttons, and a high-contrast mode.

Built for the Web Accessibility Directive for public bodies and the European Accessibility Act, which applies since 28 June 2025.

What the law asks
Public bodies in the EU have been bound by the Web Accessibility Directive for years. Since 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act also applies to many digital services offered by businesses. Both point to WCAG. For prerecorded video, captions are the minimum (success criterion 1.2.2, level A); level AA adds audio description where the visuals carry information. Read what the EAA means for video.
