Pause Here video

Hello,

I’m currently using the video background hero image on my site.

My University web team has informed me that to be completely accessible and comply with ADA, I need to have a way to pause the video background. Preferably by just a mouse click or something in that nature.

1) Is this a feature (guessing not)? or
2) can this be custom implemented by myself or
3) can this be a feature request?

    Hi Cbill,

    1. No, not currently no.
    2. If you’re familiar with JavaScript, yes, you could do this.
    3. I’ve logged this as a feature request.

    Can you please link me to the exact section of the standard? This should help the developers get a better idea of how to implement something like this.

    Hi Alex,

    From my web developer re: accessibility standards for videos and background videos:

    Begin forwarded message:

    https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/time-limits-pause.html

    This applies to background video as well
