Is anyone else noticing the play button on YouTube embedded video just says "button" in NVDA and "unlabeled button" in JAWS? I don't know if this is new or not, but I don't remember this problem happening the last time I used a screen reader.

Best,
Vanessa

Plays fine for me in Firefox and IE with JAWS, but doesn't announce in Chrome. NVDA reads the YouTube controls in Chrome.
