Pause, Stop, Hide for Auto-Moving Content
Give users control over carousels and video.
Give Users Control
If content moves on its own, the user needs a way out. WCAG calls this pause, stop, or hide for auto-moving content. ⏸️
What Counts as Auto-Moving
Think carousels, auto-advancing slideshows, scrolling tickers, and looping background video. Anything that animates without a user action qualifies.
