Video embed accessibility

    Does anyone have any tips on embedding a Youtube video so that it passes the Lighthouse accessibility test? Currently every method I’ve tried (video element, text element) comes up with the error ‘<frame> or <iframe> elements do not have a title’, including hardcoding the Iframe with a title tag (the title seems to get stripped).

    Our video module should output a title tag. Can you provide a URL where you’ve used a video module and are getting that result in Lighthouse?

    Thanks, sure. It’s https://www.trentdementia.org.uk/video-test/ – embedded through the Video module first, and then an HTML module with a hand-coded iframe with a title which seems to get stripped.

    I tested with your video and using your theme (Astra) and the title is there for me on my own site.

    It looks like you have an accessibility plugin installed. Can you try temporarily deactivating that as something in that plugin might be removing the title?

    If that doesn’t work, then please proceed with a full plugin conflict check by deactivating all plugins aside from Beaver Builder and see if the title remains removed. Let us know how it goes.

    You’re right, it’s the ‘Remove title attributes inserted into post content and featured images’ in WP Accessibility plugin, thanks for your help in solving it.
