Questions about the Twitter icon
›Does Twitter stop as soon as the pointer leaves?
It finishes the cycle it is in (at most 4 s) and then rests on its first frame, so it never freezes mid-motion. Taps on touch screens are ignored, but keyboard focus plays it.
›Will screen readers read the Twitter icon?
By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Twitter" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.
›Can Twitter loop all the time instead?
Yes: pass interaction="loop". It then plays continuously; stays on the static first frame when reduced motion is preferred.
