This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.3.1: Info and Relationships (Level A) and will be resolved by the end of January 2026. 

  3. Where chapter markers are available, the markers are not accessible to screen reader users. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.3.1: Info and Relationships (Level A) and will be resolved by the end of January 2026.  

  4. When audio description and Closed Captions are turned on, the screen reader reads out both the on and off values for these buttons, which can be confusing. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion: 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) (Level AA) and will be resolved by the end of January 2026. 

  5. In videos with the audio description, the keyboard focus order on the media player control buttons is not consistent with the visual layout of the controls. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.4.3: Focus Order (Level A) and will be resolved by the end of January 2026.
