[Xerte] Accessible media player?

[Alistair McNaught]

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.)
