Accessible to everyone.
SocialCast's web-TV should work for everyone. Here we describe which standards it has been evaluated against, what works, and what to do if something doesn't.
Built for WCAG 2.2.
Our web-TV meets WCAG 2.2 level AA and has been evaluated against the latest version of EN 301 549, the European standard that Swedish accessibility law is based on. That includes the criteria added in WCAG 2.2, such as focus that is never hidden, controls that are large enough, and sign-in that never asks you to remember or retype anything.

DOS-lagen (2018:1937)
Supervised by Digg
The Swedish law for our customers' web-TV. It builds on EN 301 549, and our web-TV is built to meet its requirements.
How accessible our web-TV is.
Our web-TV conforms to WCAG 2.2 level AA. That covers everything SocialCast builds: the start page, broadcast pages, search, chapters, speakers, chat, polls, questions, the consent dialog and the player interface. What appears in the broadcast itself, such as captions, is the responsibility of the organisation that broadcasts.
Evaluation
- Last evaluated
- 4 September 2026
- Evaluated against
- WCAG 2.2 level AA and EN 301 549 V4.1.1 (2026-09)
- Method
- Automated testing with axe-core on desktop and mobile, plus manual review of keyboard, screen reader, zoom and motion.
- Scope
- Every page type in our web-TV, including a live broadcast with chat, polls and questions.
Known limitations
- Live broadcasts are not captioned in real time. Live broadcasts are exempt under Swedish law, and the recording can be captioned afterwards.
- Captions and audio description depend on the broadcaster. The player shows captions and alternative audio tracks once the organisation has added them, by upload or AI transcription.
- Audio tracks cannot be switched during a live broadcast. Alternative audio tracks can only be selected on recordings.
Accessibility features
This is what you can count on in all web-TV from SocialCast, whichever organisation is broadcasting.
Keyboard
Everything works without a mouse. In the player, Space or K plays and pauses, M mutes, F toggles full screen, C turns on captions and the arrow keys seek.
Screen readers
Headings, landmarks and clear names on every button. New chat messages, polls and search suggestions are announced, and chat announcements can be paused.
Vision and readability
Text and controls meet the contrast requirements, focus is always visible, and the page can be zoomed to 400 percent and given wider text spacing without anything disappearing.
Captions and audio tracks
Captions are turned on with a button in the player or with C. If a recording has alternative audio tracks, you choose them in the same place.
Motion
Animations and transitions follow your device's reduced motion setting.
Language
Our web-TV is available in Swedish, English, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish. You can switch language on every page, and the player follows.
Our commitment.
Accessibility is not a project that gets finished. This is how we keep the level.
Tested before every release
Our web-TV has its own accessibility test suite that runs against every page type before a new version goes out, and changes to the interface are reviewed manually.
Keeping up with the standards
We follow the work on new versions of WCAG and EN 301 549 and update this page when the requirements or the service change.
One statement for all
This page is the accessibility statement for all web-TV from SocialCast. Every web-TV links here, so there is one place to go.
