The lack of title tag is an accessibility issue because screen readers use the title tag to get information about embedded content. This is specific to WCAG guideline 4.1.2, which is a level A guideline: https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/ensure-compat-rsv.html '''Steps to reproduce''' You can use either the classic editor or Gutenberg to reproduce this issue. 1. Create a new page. 2. Paste the URL of a YouTube video into the editor. You will see a preview of the embedded video. 3. Publish the page. 4. View the page and inspect the `iframe` containing the video. Note the lack of `title` tag in the `iframe`. '''Possible fixes''' 1. The code that creates the iframe for a YouTube video also includes a `title` tag with the title of the video. (This is the case with Vimeo video embeds.) 2. Some alternate way is provided to the content editor in WordPress to add their own title. " enhancement closed normal Embeds normal duplicate accessibility
