Accessibility Statement

Staged is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone.

Our Commitment

We believe that gaming and streaming tools should be accessible to everyone. Staged is designed with accessibility in mind from the start, and we actively work to identify and remove barriers that may prevent people with disabilities from using our software.

Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. We regularly test our website and application with assistive technologies and welcome feedback from our community.

WCAG 2.1 Principles

P

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

O

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users.

U

Understandable

Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.

R

Robust

Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents.

Accessibility Features

Here are the accessibility features currently implemented in Staged.

Keyboard Navigation

Implemented

All interactive elements can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard. Tab through menus, use arrow keys for navigation, and activate buttons with Enter or Space.

Screen Reader Support

Implemented

The website and application include proper ARIA labels, roles, and descriptions to work with screen readers like NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.

Color Contrast

Implemented

Text and interactive elements meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements. We use a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

Focus Indicators

Implemented

Clear visual focus indicators show which element is currently selected. Focus states are visible and distinct from hover states.

Reduced Motion

Implemented

Animations and transitions respect the prefers-reduced-motion system setting. Users who prefer reduced motion see minimal or no animations.

Text Scaling

Implemented

The interface supports browser text scaling up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

Known Limitations

We're actively working to address these accessibility gaps. Here's what we're aware of and our plans to address them.

Zone Editor

In Progress

Issue: Drag and drop functionality requires mouse interaction

Workaround: Keyboard shortcuts for zone creation are planned for future releases

Game Mode

Planned

Issue: Some visual indicators may not be announced by screen readers

Workaround: Audio feedback option planned for future release

HDR Preview

Partial Support

Issue: HDR content previews may have reduced accessibility

Workaround: Text descriptions are provided for HDR settings

How We Test

We use a combination of automated and manual testing to ensure accessibility:

Automated Testing

  • - axe-core accessibility engine
  • - Lighthouse accessibility audits
  • - ESLint accessibility plugins

Manual Testing

  • - Keyboard-only navigation
  • - Screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • - High contrast mode testing
