Here at Twitter, our mission is to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers, including people with disabilities/Disabled people.  We have a dedicated group of cross-functional inclusive designers and engineers, with and without lived experience of disability, focused on providing the best experience regardless of device, platform, or disability by incorporating established guidelines and best practices.

In order to get the best accessible experience, we recommend that you use the most current versions of relevant software:

In addition to our internal Accessibility Experience Team, we rely on the support of external accessibility consulting companies to augment and validate our efforts, including testing with disabled people, to ensure we are always up to date with the latest in accessibility guidelines, laws, and practices.

Community created content

One of the best parts of Twitter is being able to create and share content, especially media like images and videos. While not all content creators are willing or able to provide content in an inclusive way, we are continuously working to encourage content creators to share accessible content by educating and providing tools to simplify adding meaningful text alternatives and descriptions.
