Rule

Where user controls are provided for volume adjustment, ICT MUST provide user controls for the selection of captions at the same menu level as the user controls for volume or program selection.

Background

People who need to use closed captions or an audio description track need to be able to find the controls to turn them on without hunting around the video player toolbar and submenus. In order to make these controls easy to find, they need to be at the same level as the main video player controls such as the play/pause button and volume controls.

How to Fix

Fix this issue by ensuring that the closed caption control is at the same level of interaction as the volume controls.
