W3C's MAUR (2015 Note) lists player requirements: configurable caption fonts, sizes, colours and background opacity, caption track toggling, keyboard operation of all functionality, and sign-language video as a track or file shown as picture-in-picture, overlay or parallel video with a user toggle. UAAG 2.0 (2015 Note) adds that alternatives must not obscure controls or video, captions are user-configurable, and alternatives can be resized to at least 50% of the viewport and repositioned. Both are Notes, not Recommendations.
