How long can an auto-playing, soundless video play before requiring controls to pause, stop, or hide it?
Reveal Answer
5 seconds
Any auto-playing video longer than 5 seconds must have controls to pause, stop, or hide it to meet WCAG 2.1's Pause, Stop, Hide Success Criteria. If the video has sound, however, it can only play for 3 seconds without pause functionality.
