When it comes to passing Section 508 accessibility testing for HTML pages with multiple embedded videos, the issue at hand involves a total of four videos. The problem was pinpointed as:
"The play button lacks any screen-reader identification of the video title that is about to be played."
The specific player being used in this instance is video.js with a Brightcove player implementation. The objective is for the screen reader to announce the video's title when tabbing to the play button before it is activated.
To address this, adding an aria-label line to a div enclosing the video code enables access for screen readers. However, users still need to tab again to reach the actual player controls, as the default tab order in the video.js code does not include these elements. Additionally, this method appears to disrupt logical tab ordering, where tabs cycle through all the div containers before returning to the play button of the first video. Attempts to fix this using tabindex numbers have proven ineffective as they are seemingly disregarded.
