Focus Order of Player

As far as I know, you cannot modify the location of these elements on the player. I know they do change locations if you use the Modern player and hide or unhide the seek bar. 

For example:

Seek bar visible: play button on the left and the replay, volume, closed caption, accessibility control, previous and next buttons on the right.

Hide the seek bar:  volume, closed caption, and accessibility controls on the left, and the previous and next buttons on the right.

I'm sure someone else will comment and let us know if that is not the case.

Hi Lauren,

I'm glad that Richard could pop in and help you here. 

If you've included these elements in your player, the learner will need to access them for control while on the slide. Here is some additional information on our accessible player:

Lauren,

My mistake. I didn't read your initial question correctly. From my understanding, you cannot change the focus order of the player navigation elements but you can skip them when tabbing. More information here:

I also agree with this. Someone who is blind and using a screen reader has to hear about the volume button and other buttons along the bottom of the screen, then the Previous button, then the Next button. 

The Next button should be first, then Previous, then other buttons. If there is a request for enhancement already open for this, I would like my name added to it.
