Accessible Video Player

An accessible video player provides controls and features that let people with different needs operate and understand video content. Keyboard-operable playback controls, understandable button names, captions, and support for transcripts or audio descriptions may all be relevant. A cleaning company posting a short service demonstration should consider whether viewers can pause the video without a mouse and understand information conveyed through sound. Captions alone do not make every player accessible. Accessibility depends on the controls, media alternatives, and the content itself. Testing with keyboards and relevant assistive technology can reveal problems that a simple visual inspection misses.
