Operable 2.2 Enough Time
All website users need to be given enough time to read and use the content on the page. This guideline affects video and audio-based media, GIFs, carousels as well as user sessions that may time out.
Examples
- Give a warning message before a user is going to be logged out due to inactivity.
- Give the option to add more time when performing time sensitive actions.
- Add pause/stop controls to a carousel that auto plays.
