Right, but OIâm not talking about linked videos, but rather videos which fb
members posted on facebook itself.

I don't know whether videos on Facebook all work the same, but I've just
started one off using NVDA. As it happens, the video was on the Wired Facebook
page.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/10/syrian-rebel-facebook/
First I searched for the video object with the O key. NVDA said, "object,
clickable". I pressed tab once and NVDA said, "button". Obviously an unlabelled
button, I pressed Enter and then I was taken to YouTube, and the video played.
So in effect the FB page only acted as a link to the video on YouTube.

I havenât really had a need to use this so far, but it seems that itâs
impossible for a screenreader to play a video on facebook. When one clicks on
the link, one is meant to click something to start playback of the video, but
this button doesnât seem to be able to be seen by a screenreader. Admitidlly I
have so far only tried this with jaws.
So, is there a workaround? Am I missing something?
Thanks.
