Barrier 1 of 3
Autoplaying hero video without controls
Representative allegation
A background video played automatically and the plaintiff could not pause it or find a text alternative.
WCAG 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide, 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only
Typical location: sections/video-hero.liquid
How a plaintiff tests it
Load the homepage, look for a pause control reachable by keyboard, and check whether the video conveys information that is missing from the text.
How we fix it
Add an accessible pause control, honor the reduced-motion setting, and make sure the content in the video is also available as text.
