Hi,
YouTube changes it's code frequently.
Enhancing it or making it less accessible.
Either way, you have no control over it.
A more robust solution is to use a third-party player to embed you're YouTube-video with.
The native inaccessible controls are hidden and replaced by keyboard and screenreader friendly HTML controls.
2 examples with YouTube support:
Able player (Terrill Thompson)

Plyr (Sam Potts)
https://plyr.io
Kind regards,
Gijs
