SOLVED: Video Icon and overlay no "role" attribute

Browser: any
OS: any

Real version is 2.1.1, did not try later releases. But i found no references to this in the changelog

When adding the play icon on a video element it is possible to set an aria label for it. The label is assigned to the tag, but no role is added for the item, resulting in bad accessibility.

Hi @mofo ,

Thanks for reporting the issue.
Have added this to the bug tracker. We will add role attribute for the overlay/icon tag.

TY.

As a side note, accessibility wise users should be able to toggle video backgrounds as well.

Such a feature is not available in bricks… :folded_hands:

It also seems like the video element can’t have and aria-label.

Setting it via the attribute panel assigns it to the video wrapper.

Dear @mofo ,

accessibility wise users should be able to toggle video backgrounds as well.

Kindly create a new feature request thread for this feature.

It also seems like the video element can’t have an aria-label.

Please may I have an example of what you wish to achieve? It’s a local video or Youtube / Vimeo, etc.?
It would be best if you could provide some A11y documentation when that attribute is required so we can improve and implement it properly.

Regards,
Jenn

Actually it is impossible to set attributes to the video element, not even the the title or alts set via the wp media settings.

We fixed this issue in Bricks 2.2 RC2, now available as a manual download in your account (see changelog).

Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

As with any pre-stable release, please do not use it on a production website. It is intended for testing in a local or staging environment only.
