Objective: Analyze videos released by government institutions related to the protection and prevention of Covid-19 in people with disabilities, under Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning perspective. Methods: Documentary study, through access to the official websites of Brazilian government institutions and YouTube video sharing platform.  Results: It were produced 33 videos by government institutions during the first year of the pandemic. They had understandable language, good quality visuals effects, clear and varied colors, with no virtual figures or animations. The Libras interpreter was present in 29 videos and a video presented audio description of the images. In 25 videos there was subtitles in Portuguese. The principles of Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning were present. The contents were about the protective measures of Covid-19, through the creation of programs, projects and services that benefited people with disabilities in situations of social and economic vulnerability, mobility in traffic and projects for their insertion and maintenance in the labor market. . The videos also covered the preventive measures for Covid-19, such as hand washing, respiratory label, wearing a mask, cleaning support equipment, recommendations for caregivers / family members and the services available for support.
