FAQs
What is WCAG 2.2 AA and how does it apply to Smart TV apps?
WCAG 2.2 AA is an international accessibility standard (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) that defines requirements to make digital products usable for people with disabilities. “AA” is the widely adopted compliance level used by many organizations and regulations.
For Smart TV apps, WCAG 2.2 AA applies by ensuring the app can be used with a remote control and assistive technologies, including clear focus states, logical navigation order, readable text and contrast, accessible forms/inputs, and enough time/feedback for user actions, so the experience is accessible to all viewers on TV platforms, not just on the web.
What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and how does it relate to TV app accessibility?
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is EU legislation requiring accessibility for many digital products and services offered in the EU, including TV and streaming apps. It works alongside WCAG standards to ensure equitable access for users with disabilities.
How do I make my Smart TV app accessibility compliant?
To make your Smart TV app accessibility compliant, you need to embed WCAG requirements into your UI/UX design, development, and QA across all target TV platforms. This includes remote-friendly navigation and focus states, readable contrast and typography, accessible player controls, consistent cross-device behaviour, and thorough testing on real devices.
The fastest and most reliable route is an Accessibility Audit. Norigin Media can audit your Smart TV/CTV apps, provide a detailed compliance report, and support implementation and certification across platforms like Tizen, webOS, Roku, Android TV and more.
What accessibility features are required for Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, or Roku apps?
Accessibility requirements are guided by WCAG 2.2 AA, but implementation varies by platform. For Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and Roku apps, key required features typically include clear remote-control focus states, logical navigation order, high colour contrast and readable text, accessible buttons/labels, captions/subtitles support, and consistent behaviour with each platform’s accessibility settings (e.g., screen reader/voice guidance where available). For full compliance, apps should be tested on real devices across each TV OS to ensure accessibility works in practice – this service is provided by Norigin Media’s expert QA Testing Team in our extensive Device Lab.
What is included in a Smart TV accessibility audit?
A Smart TV accessibility audit typically includes a full review of your app against WCAG 2.2 AA and platform-specific accessibility expectations across Smart TV and CTV devices.
It covers:
- Remote navigation & focus behaviour (visibility, order, traps, skip patterns)
- UI/UX accessibility checks (contrast, typography, spacing, readability at distance)
- Screen reader / voice guidance support where available
- Player accessibility (captions/subtitles, controls, error handling)
- Authentication & search accessibility
- Cross-platform consistency (Tizen, webOS, Roku, Android TV, etc.)
- Manual testing on real devices
The outcome is a detailed audit report with issues, severity, and clear recommendations, including implementation guidance for design, development, and QA teams.
Why is accessibility important for streaming and CTV apps?
Accessibility is important for streaming and CTV apps because it ensures all viewers—including people with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments—can use your app independently.
It also:
- Helps meet WCAG compliance requirements and reduces legal risk
- Improves user experience for everyone (clear navigation, better readability, captions)
- Expands your audience and engagement (more viewers can watch and subscribe)
- Strengthens brand reputation by delivering an inclusive viewing experience across devices
