Clarification on Hiding Content under SC 2.2.2: Pause, Stop, Hide #4781
Description
SC 2.2.2: Pause, Stop, Hide requires providing mechanisms to pause, stop, or hide moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating content.
It is unclear whether there are restrictions regarding hiding content that conveys essential information. Specifically:
-
If auto-scrolling or auto-updating content contains information critical for user tasks, is it acceptable under SC 2.2.2 to hide that content as part of the control mechanism?
-
Could hiding content that users need to perceive cause conformance issues under other WCAG Success Criteria?
Relevant reference:
Clarification on how SC 2.2.2 should be interpreted in relation to hiding critical information would be greatly appreciated.
