Updating to the Modern Player

Hi Pierre,

Great choice transitioning to the Modern Player! The only disadvantage, if you see it that way, is that in the Classic player, you can have topbar tabs on the right and left sides of the player. While in the Modern player, topbar tabs are always on the side of the player opposite the sidebar. For everything else, I would always go with the Modern Player.

Regarding accessibility, the light and dark themes of the modern player meet and exceed WCAG Level AA guidelines for visual contrast and color by default. On the other hand, you must choose colors with a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher in the Classic player to meet accessible contrast.

The modern player always scales smoothly to completely fill the learner’s browser on every device and screen size, maximizing the available space, so there should be no problem with sizing. Please see the article below for details:

Let me know if that helps!
