Behind the film
Accessibility
Works with a keyboard, a screen reader or a thumb
-
Every control by keyboard
Tab reaches each button, slider and menu option in the order you see them, and every focused part gets the same white ring.
-
Clear names for screen readers
Buttons say what they do, like “Seek forward 10 seconds”. The seek ring is a slider that reads out “1:04 of 14:48”.
-
Subtitles in two languages
Each film has English and Spanish tracks. Turn them on from the options menu or press C.
-
Respects reduced motion
With reduced motion on in your system settings, the fan-out, springs and wheel animations are switched off.
-
Big enough to hit
Option buttons are 44 px. Sliders have a hit area taller than the line you see, and nothing overlaps on touch screens.
-
More than colour
When something is on, its icon changes shape and gets a dot, so subtitles, casting and full screen never rely on colour alone.

Features
One round control instead of a control bar
-
Seek around the ring
Hover the ring to preview any moment from the Mux storyboard. Drag around it to scrub, with the time following your finger.
-
Click-wheel volume
Tap the bottom button for a slider, or press and hold it and circle clockwise to turn the volume up, like an iPod.
-
Options that fan out
The top button opens subtitles, settings, cast, picture in picture and full screen, each with its own panel above the control.
-
Streamed from Mux
Each film plays as adaptive HLS from Mux, so picture quality follows your connection, and the seek previews come from its storyboards.
-
Spin to switch films
Turn the dial at the bottom of the screen. The films swing round with it and the player picks up where the wheel stops.
-
Put the control where you like
Choose small, medium or large, and centre, bottom or corner, in Settings. Orbit remembers your choice in this browser.
