Proper Video Pause/Play Using a Hotspot

Hi All,

I am having the same issue: If the user clicks on a video to pause it, the slide or layer timeline continues, which creates a gap between the video timeline and slide/layer timeline. I am using the hotspot workaround (blocking the video with a hotspot so the user cannot click on it). However, I realized that the user can still select and pause the video with keyboard controls (i.e., tab to the video and hit the Enter key). So, the hotspot workaround does not work if the user is using the keyboard rather than the mouse. I cannot remove the video from the focus order to prevent the user from tabbing to it (for 508 accessibility compliance reasons), so is there any other workaround out there?

Thanks,

Domenick
