About
The V7 player is fully accessible and meets the general accessibility requirements. The design includes requirements such as color contrast, focus on fields, fonts.
Viewers can control the player options with a standard keyboard (arrows, tab, space, enter, escape). Each of its controls is set with an aria-label, enabling screen readers to render the text as speech.
Viewers also have the ability to customize the look of the captions. See Captions and Audio Tracks for more information. Click Advanced captions settings to customize the captions display.
