[bcab] Re: Website access: videos that play on entry into the site

Hi Clive,
 
What is the site that you are attempting to access?  Sometimes pressing the Escape key can stop streaming audio but it doesn't always seem to work.  More knowledgeable people than myself might be able to explain why.

Subject: [bcab] Website access: videos that play on entry into the site

Hi all,
 
I would like to make a reasonable suggestion to the web team responsible for the link below.  What should I be saying?  The problem is that as soon as you enter the site, a video clip plays louder than Jaws.  The clip could be anything from two minutes to an hour long, but you can't reasonably be expected to navigate the site whilst it is playing, if you are using speech to do so. 
 
What do I suggest they do so that they can keep the default video clip but provide an option to turn it off, which at present they don't have?  The technical resolution would be helpful, so that I can not only tell them what needs to be done, but also give guidance on how to achieve the solution.
 
Thanks,
Clive
