Play Button

The play button icon represents a play button, often used in the context of media playback. It symbolizes the action to start playing a video or audio file. The icon is commonly used in media players and streaming applications.

In real-world applications, the play button icon appears in software like video streaming services, music players, and online video platforms. For example, it might be used in a web application that allows users to watch videos.

From a UX perspective, the play button icon communicates a sense of action and initiation. It helps users quickly understand the functionality of a button or section related to media playback.

Play Button is one of 1,834 icons in Emoji One (Colored), made by Emoji One and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 64 × 64 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PlayButtonIcon to components/icons/emojione-play-button.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed PlayButtonIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Play Button icon, or any of 1,834 Emoji One (Colored) icons, and install it from a prompt.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Play Button", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PlayButtonIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PlayButtonIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
