Open Barrierefrei in the German Joyn Mediathek to browse accessible programme editions. For a programme live with audio description, Joyn describes choosing the corresponding audio track in the live player. For German Sign Language or easy-language material, use the edition listed for that version.
Find the right kind of accessible edition
Joyn’s Barrierefrei area brings together audio description, German Sign Language, subtitles for deaf viewers and Leichte Sprache, or easy language. Start with the type of access you need and look for the specific programme. Then check the season or transmission date.
The label you need depends on the viewing task. For a household looking for spoken narration of the visual action, start with Audiodeskription. For a signed version, look for Gebärdensprache. If you need a subtitle or easy-language version, use the corresponding collection and confirm the episode.
Check a live programme before the broadcast
Joyn’s accessibility page links to planned accessible broadcasts. It says selected ProSieben and SAT.1 programmes have German Sign Language versions in live or on-demand viewing. The page also links to planned subtitle listings. Use those listings to match the channel, transmission date and accessibility type.
For a live programme offered with audio description, open the Joyn live stream and use the control bar at the lower right to select the audio-description track. If that track isn’t offered for the current transmission, check the programme date and accessible edition listed by Joyn.
Open the matching on-demand item
In the accessibility catalogue, check whether the programme is listed in the relevant collection and whether the desired episode is present. A sign-language replay or an easy-language episode may be a specific edition to open. The programme title is your starting point, and the accessible version determines which entry to use.
Suppose you want to watch an edition with a family member who uses German Sign Language. Save the programme link and note the exact episode and accessibility label from the catalogue. If you are arranging a live viewing, use the date and time on the scheduled listing instead.
Capture the distinction for support
If the edition you expected is missing, note the title, date, live or replay route and the type of accessibility you need. Include the device and the edition or audio option you saw. That gives Joyn enough information to distinguish a player control question from an episode availability question.
