On Tuesday May 31, Ken Petri of Ohio State University and I are giving a webinar titled What Makes a Video Player Accessible?, hosted by the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP).
If you’re reading this before the event, I hope you can make it. Follow the above link to register.
If you’re reading this after the event, I hope you were able to attend. And if not, I’m sorry you missed it.
In either case, our webinar slide deck includes a number of links to a variety of resources related to media player accessibility. In order to make those easy to access I’ve extracted them all here:
- Media Accessibility User Requirements – a W3C “Working Group Note”
- Accessible Player Table (APT) – Ken Petri’s Web-based Media Player Accessibility Comparison Table
- HTML5 Media API – direct from the HTML5 spec (Web Author’s Revision)
- WebVTT – draft spec for the Web Video Text Tracks format
- Able Player – fully accessible cross-browser HTML5 media player
- Able Player Demos
- DO-IT Video – uses Able Player
- W3C Web Accessibility Perspectives – uses Able Player
- Visual Design and Placement of Controls – a conversation in the WAI Showcase Examples issues forum
- Accessible Playlist Community Group – a newly proposed W3C community group, not yet approved but keep an eye on the Community Groups page
