Accessibility Info
Browser Recorder:
On the free recorder page, many icons are missing alt text. Focus-related problems include the failure to move focus to the reset button after using the Zoom in/out function, the hoverable volume slider not receiving focus, and the "Draw Color" radio buttons improperly receiving tab focus. Additionally, several controls, such as "Record" and "Draw," lack announced labels. Contrast issues are also present, with insufficient contrast for the "Mute" text, camera icons, and certain icons like "Reset" and "Play/Pause." When zooming in the browser, the "Cancel" button becomes misaligned, and the Zoom in/out feature relies entirely on dragging functionality. Focus is further hindered by becoming fully obscured behind the video recorder interface.
The Windows and macOS Apps face similar accessibility challenges, primarily in the Story from Script, Customized Background, and Video Editing screens. These issues include poor contrast, missing labels, and focus-related problems, making it difficult for users to interact effectively with these features.
