Accessible widgets and video player

  • Improvement

  • Player

Storista widgets and the video player were reworked to meet the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines, so more of your shoppers can browse and buy from your videos:

  • Everything works with a keyboard: open videos, switch between them, pick products and close the player with Escape. Focus is clearly visible and returns to where the shopper started.
  • Screen readers announce buttons, videos and products with meaningful names, and confirm when an item is added to the cart.
  • Auto-scrolling carousels and stories have a pause button and stop moving for shoppers who prefer reduced motion.
  • Buttons and controls meet minimum touch target sizes.
  • All new labels are translated into every language the widgets support.

Your existing custom CSS keeps working — the class names and elements you style are unchanged. Colour contrast and captions on your own videos remain in your hands; automatic captions can help with the latter.
