Do you produce video content for distribution in the iTunes store? If so, there is a new requirement for any and all content: Videos must include closed captioning and/or subtitles.
The rule is in effect now and applies in the following ways:
- Any television show episode in English must have closed captioning whether it aired on United States television or not.
- Movies in English must have either closed captions, encoded subtitles, or both.
- Movies or TV shows without English audio must have English subtitles.
- Promotional and bonus material delivered to iTunes and live after June 30, 2015 must have closed captioning.
- iTunes extras must have closed captioning or encoded subtitles.
