Test with high contrast mode on desktop

Learn how to test the accessibility of your website with high contrast mode on Live.

Some end users might have high contrast mode enabled on their systems. The high contrast mode is an accessibility feature that allows users to change the contrast of the screen elements and text, making it easier for them to read the text and distinguish between the elements.

You can test how high contrast mode affects the appearance of your website using the Increase contrast feature on Live. After you enable the Increase contrast feature, the High contrast mode (on Windows) or Increase contrast (on macOS) setting is enabled in the background.

Supported operating systems

The following are the supported operating systems:

• Windows 11
• macOS Monterey and above

To enable high contrast, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Live dashboard.
2. Select the device-browser combination to start your test session.
3. On the Live toolbar, click Settings.
4. Under the System Settings section, switch on the Increase contrast toggle.
   A success message is displayed confirming that the Increase contrast setting is now enabled.
