What is Accessible HTML5 Video Player?
This HTML5 video player offers a lightweight and accessible solution for video content. It provides custom video controls that are fully compatible with screen readers and keyboard-only interactions, ensuring an inclusive viewing experience. The player supports captions and allows users to easily toggle them on or off, as well as adjust the rewind and forward duration. Additionally, the text strings for the controls are externalized, enabling internationalization for a global audience.
