The title “Protect yours users - National Epilepsy Month” has someone above accessing a web page and being presented with a photosensitive warning emerging from the screen to warn them flashing media may be within the content that could trigger a seizure.

If you have content that may impact users who have #epilepsy, such as flashing media, it's crucial to include a clear warning prior to the content, including any links that lead to a page that contains dangerous media.

A large flash icon is next to text which reads “National Epilepsy Month. 3 steps to protect users online: 1. Flash Threshold - Media should not flash more than 3 times in any one-second period, 2. Warn users - Issue a warning before any videos that may have flashing features, 3. Media precautions - Stop videos and audio from automatically playing and allow animations to be paused on sites.”

The web is full of flashing media and moving features that may be dangerous for some users.

On #NationalEpilepsyMonth, we share 3 adjustments to implement on sites to help protect users with #epilepsy: zurl.co/AZlI0
