[Feature Request] VideoPlayer minimal variant for animations

Open joshvogel17 opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

SWP team currently has an issue to add animation videos (videos with no sound) to our templates. This type of minimal VideoPlayer can be seen on https://github.com/features/copilot.

We would like to enhance the VideoPlayer to:

  1. autoplay on render
  2. have only play/pause button in the lower right corner
  3. ability to add alt text for accessibility

Thanks for opening this request @joshvogel17. Quick update for you:

  • This will be treated as a new component entirely, separate to VideoPlayer
  • VideoPlayer supports many features that aren't needed for your described use-case. E.g. Closed captions.
  • It's easier for us (and more accessible) to create a separate - albeit limited - new component for rendering ambient video's. This won't support features like closed captions, or allow control over the track however.
  • We'll tentatively refer to this as MinimalVideoPlayer going forward

Have added this to our main epic here, you can follow along progress there.
