This paper provides recommendations on how to integrate accessibility solutions, like subtitling, audio description and sign language, with immersive media services, with a focus on 360-degree video and spatial audio. It provides an in-depth analysis of the features provided by state-of-the-art standard solutions to achieve this goal, and elaborates on the finding and proposed solutions from the EU H2020 ImAc project to address existing gaps. The proposed solutions are described qualitatively and technically, including example implementations. The document is intended to serve as a valuable information source for early adopters who plan to provide accessibility services to their portfolio with standard-compliant solutions.
