What Is Audio Description, and How Do You Turn It On?
Audio description adds a spoken narration track describing key visual action — here's how it generally works.
Audio description is an accessibility feature that adds a narrated audio track describing important visual elements — actions, expressions, scene changes — during natural pauses in dialogue, primarily for viewers who are blind or have low vision.
Where to look for it
On most platforms, audio description appears as a selectable audio track alongside language options, rather than as a separate app-wide setting.
Availability varies by content
Whether an audio description track exists depends on how a specific piece of content was produced, not on the app or device itself.
