Have your Mac speak audio descriptions for videos

Audio descriptions provide an audible narration of important onscreen action and content in movies and TV shows. If you have a video that includes audio descriptions, your Mac can read them aloud for you.

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Descriptions.

    Open the Descriptions pane for me

  2. Select the “Play audio descriptions when available” checkbox.

    To turn the descriptions off, deselect the checkbox.
