Yes - it was pasting the embed code into a text dialogue. It seems to be a particular issue with some flavours of Chrome - which is a pain because in many respects chrome would be recommended browser from an accessibility perspective because ChromeSpeak is compatible with the free TechDis voices, the free Scottish voices and the free Welsh voices. That means high quality text to speech on Xerte objects is available for most of the UK via Chrome. But somehow my Chrome set up (and Rons) seem to lose the keyboard access. .. for which I entirely blame Google.

Do they mean if they paste the embed code in?

Hi everybody,
I had this query come into the community site recently. It seems that the player for embedded YouTube clips is not accessible without using a mouse. Is there anything that we can improve this within the Xerte toolkits or is it a YouTube issue?
This is the query I had. Any light you can shed on it would be very welcome

On an embedded YouTube clip we couldn't focus on the play button. To get around this, could we set the YouTube to autoplay on load? I can't get '?autoplay=1' to work within Xerte (I'm also aware that I've read about this recently but can't find it or remember the outcome.)
