Re: Full screen button accessible name in Youtube

Interesting... I had not seen the shortcuts, cool! One thing I noticed, though, was that the next button has shortcut NEXT N in caps, different that the others. Perhaps so it stands out from the next title preview thumbnail? But the contrast is lesser than the other shortcuts. The font color is a light grey instead of white.

Well, I didn't believe you at first because I use the fullscreen button
quite often and it's always been read correctly, but I just tried it and it
looks like it's broken. There must have been a youtube update because the
other buttons in the player now have shortcut keys, which I don't remember
them having before. All the buttons have an aria-label except the
fullscreen button. I think they forgot it. You should send them feedback.
