    <desc>Enable visual alerts to flash the screen or window when an
    alert sound is played.</desc>
  </info>

  <title>Flash the screen for alert sounds</title>

  <p>Your computer will play a simple alert sound for certain types of
  messages and events. If you have a hard time hearing these sounds, you
  can have either the entire screen or your current window visually flash
  whenever the alert sound is played.</p>

  <p>This can also be useful if you’re in an environment where you need your
  computer to be silent, such as in a library. See <link xref="sound-alert"/>
  to learn how to mute the alert sound, then enable visual alerts.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Accessibility</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Accessibility</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the <gui>Hearing</gui> section to open it.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the <gui>Visual Alerts</gui> section, switch the <gui>Visual Alerts</gui>
      switch to on.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Under <gui>Flash Area</gui>, select whether you want the entire screen or just
      your current window title to flash.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>You can quickly turn visual alerts on and off by clicking the
    <link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and
    selecting <gui>Visual Alerts</gui>.</p>
