This section gives you step by step instructions on how to enable Audio Descriptions in macOS 13 Ventura, with pictures of the screens to help.

1. Click the Apple icon in the top left corner of the screen and choose System Settings from the menu.

2. In the System Settings window, click Accessibility in the sidebar.

3. On the right, choose Descriptions from the list of Accessibility options on the right.

4. On the Descriptions screen, click the toggle switch for Play audio description when available to turn it on.

5. When you are happy with your settings, close System Settings by clicking the Close button (red circle)  in the top-left corner of the window or using the Cmd + W keyboard shortcut.
