4.14 For each time-based media that has a synchronised caption or audio description track, are the control features for these alternatives presented at the same level as the main features?

Official methodology to test criterion 4.14

Test 1 (4.14.1)

  1. Locate pre-recorded time-based media with a synchronised caption track or audio description.
  2. Check that it is possible to activate and deactivate captions or audio description without any additional steps to the main features (play, pause, etc.).
  3. If this is the case, the test is validated.

<i>Example:</i> If the play button can be activated from the interface by a simple mouse click (without the need to activate a first component to display a drop-down menu, for example), the captions feature should be available in the same way, with a simple click. Conversely, if the captions feature is available from a drop-down menu that must first be activated (by a mouse click, for example), it will not be considered to be at the same level, as there will be an additional step to perform.
