The goal is to provide implementers of picture in picture with accessibility guidance. The following proposed accessibility considerations statement was discussed at the July 28, 2021 APA meeting (https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2021Jul/0028.html): > > It is important that the interface for picture in picture meets the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
