This position paper proposes technology opportunities for supporting people with visual impairments (PVI) as content creators, rather than just content consumers. While previous studies examined accessibility issues with functions and visual content on various social media platforms, little is known about experiences of PVI beyond just watching visual content. Our recent study revealed that there is a community of video bloggers (vloggers) with visual impairments who actively produce multiple categories of video content on YouTube. From the perspective of those vloggers with visual impairments, we would like to discuss challenges and opportunities to improve the accessibility of video-based social media platforms to support those video creators with visual impairments.

本立场文件提出了技术支持，以支持视力障碍者（PVI）作为内容创建者，而不仅仅是内容消费者。尽管先前的研究在各种社交媒体平台上研究了功能和视觉内容的可访问性问题，但除了观看视觉内容外，对PVI的体验知之甚少。我们最近的研究表明，存在着视力障碍的视频博客作者（vlogger）社区，他们在YouTube上积极制作多种视频内容。从那些视力障碍者的角度来看，我们想讨论一些挑战和机遇，以改善基于视频的社交媒体平台的可访问性，以支持那些视力障碍者的视频创作者。
