Pause Circle Icon

pause-circle · Video Audio Sound · 6 styles

Pause Circle is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Video Audio Sound set. It is one of 103 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Pause Circle lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "pause-circle", and every style variant resolves from that single name.

Read literally, the shape signals pausing playback and a circular container that softens the glyph. That places Pause Circle in the Video Audio Sound family, which covers playback, volume, cameras and media state and turns up in players, call controls, recording bars and gallery viewers. Teams building media products and video conferencing tools reach for this set first. Use Pause Circle where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.

Pause Circle in 6 styles

Pause Circle has been redrawn for 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

How to use the pause-circle icon in Angular

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import PauseCircleBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/video-audio-sound" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for pause-circle live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

typescript
import { PauseCircleBold, PauseCircleBoldDuotone, PauseCircleLinear, PauseCircleOutline, PauseCircleBroken, PauseCircleLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/video-audio-sound';
typescript
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';

Pause Circle icon FAQ

How do I use the pause-circle icon in Angular?
Import PauseCircleBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/video-audio-sound", register it with provideSolarIcons(PauseCircleBold) and render <solar-icon name="pause-circle" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
Which styles does Pause Circle support?
6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
Can I change the size and colour of pause-circle?
Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Pause Circle inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
