WCAG 2.1 Guidelines for Video

[nkoger97]

At colleges and universities using WordPress, we legally must comply with ADA guidelines. With the new WCAG 2.1 Guidelines, videos must contain a description within the html before the embedded content. Videos must have:
<H1> Heading <H1>
<iframe title= "detailed video description" src="....." />

Is there any way to add a description field when uploading video that'll be embedded before the source is listed?

I Couldn't find the source of this requirement mainly due to the <h1> you've posted above. Is this something you consider required to have before the video? Because if that's the case, then you would have more then one h1 tag on page which have more than one video + it just doesn't make sense to me.

All else found was for the title attribute ​https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/html/H64
And also one more finding - ​http://davidmacd.com/blog/is-title-attribute-on-iframe-required-by-wcag.html there is "Rationale" near the end for tldr;

@nkoger97 thanks for your ticket and welcome to Trac!

WordPress 5.2 introduced a change (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/44942) to make sure embed iframes have a title attribute. There's also a new filter oembed_iframe_title_attribute that allows to modify the title. Is that what you were looking for?

Discussed during today's accessibility bug scrub and agreed to close this ticket. WordPress has now a feature that seems to cover what is asked for. Discussion can continue also on closed tickets!
