Goal of the study

This project will identify barriers that people with disabilities face when using streaming services.

The content of streaming services is delivered through apps created by the service provider. It is also delivered using devices such as dongles (a small device that plugs into a computer or TV) and set-top boxes. These devices are used to connect televisions, including smart TVs, to the internet.

This project will focus on the accessibility of these apps and devices. It will make recommendations to support the development of an accessibility standard for the delivery of streaming services.
