I have a live streaming video player that can be hidden by collapsing its parent container. I'm wondering if such a player must have Stop/Pause buttons in terms of accessibility. Thank you!

I think you need to clarify, if someone collapses the player parent container does the video stop playing automatically? Does it resume if you expand the parent container again? A simple fiddle would make this easier to answer as there are several things to consider. But the short answer is yes, you need play and pause buttons. – GrahamTheDev Jul 29 '20 at 18:25

Maria, just because it's hidden to a sighted user, doesn't mean it will be hidden to a user who is blind. WCAG 2.2.2 addresses this specifically: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#pause-stop-hide.
