Video Player

Video Player is a component used to play and control video content.

This component was tested and signed off by Applause (external accessibility specialists).

Best Practices

Provide Text Tracks

  • Providing a caption track not only helps people with hearing disabilities, but allows any user to watch a video when muted.
  • Providing an audio description track allows assistive technologies to describe to the user what is happenning in the video.

Use autoplay with Caution

Although we have the option, autoplaying videos can be disruptive and annoying for users, and can negatively impact user experience.
