In the context of this Success Criterion, "plays automatically" broadly refers to audio that is not started/played as a direct result of a user's intentional activation. For example, not selecting a link or button.

In the context of this success criterion, "plays automatically" broadly refers to audio that is not started/played as a direct result of a user's intentional activation. For example, selecting a link or button with clear labelling or context that it will start an experience where audio will play is an example of starting in response to a user's intended action. This criterion is also not intended to apply to a conference call or other interaction where two-way voice communication may take place; the potential for any participant to speak during a conference call is not equivalent to audio that "plays automatically for more than 3 seconds." However, a mechanism to control the volume of conference call output independently from the overall system volume would be a best practice.
