PEAT Tool Does Not Flag Potential Photosensitive Epilepsy Issues on YouTube Video

[satishsukrta]

Description:
I used the PEAT (Photosensitive Epilepsy Analysis Tool) version 1.6 to test the video at the following URL for WCAG compliance regarding photosensitive epilepsy:

However, the PEAT tool did not return any errors or warnings, even though the video contains flashing content that may potentially trigger photosensitive epilepsy. I was expecting some indication or analysis result highlighting this, as per WCAG guidelines.

I am wondering if this is a bug in the PEAT tool or a limitation in analyzing embedded/linked video content.

this is, essentially, nothing to do with WCAG per se, but a question that may need to be put to the PEAT developers

1. I have passed this on to the lead PEAT developer Bern Jordan jbjordan@umd.edu

2. PEAT does not analyse anything online. you must make a movie of it and then submit this to PEAT. So it is unclear what exactly was fed into PEAT. Please provide as many specifics as you can directly to Bern Jordan jbjordan@umd.edu (don't bother filling this discussion up with details - but good to put final outcome of discussion here when done.

PS Bern is currently working on a new Open-source version that will handle modern video technologies and other issues. But it might be terminated by Grant terminations currently planned by administration here. If that happends efforts will be made to find other funding to complete the effort.
