Maybe YouTube is putting more rubbish on the screen? I'm not sure, as I say I have a subscription so don't usually get ads. I could definitely find it when I logged out and played videos, although yes, you have to trudge past a few things to find it. The best workaround I can suggest is a YouTube premium (or YouTube Music, or whatever they're calling it this week) subscription.
Hi. I am aware of all that, but the "skip ad" button has been
relatively harder to detect lately, hence my post.

I just tried, and I can find the button, pretty
much exactly the same ways as in Firefox.
Note that YouTube has a few different ways of showing ads.
The ones which have the "Skip ad" button, tend to be ones
which play for five seconds or so first (with a count down
timer where the Skip Ad button would be) before the Skip Ad
button is shown. If you are quick off the mark, and try to
find the button before this point, you may not be able to.
The ads in this case are often a couple of minutes long.
YouTube sometimes shows other ads which are 30 seconds or so,
and for some of these ads, it doesn't offer a facility to skip
the ad, but rather shows a message saying that your video will
play (or resume) after the ad. In that case there is no Skip
ad button either.
Are you sure the ads you are seeing do in fact have skip ad
buttons?
I was using Chrome Version 75.0.3770.142 (Official Build)
(64-bit) I noticed when I just checked that it decided there
was an update, but I don't think this build was that old.

Quentin.

Hi,
What I've faced so far?
If I wish NVDA to recognize the skip ad button, I switch
to the focus mode and tab and/or shift tab to find and
activate the button, for there are cases when NVDA does
not recognize the very button we're talking about when in
the browse mode.

Hi Quentin. I have been using Chrome for quite a while
and so i can't tell you if Chrome is the culprit or not
since the button is still seen by JFW. For me at
least, NVDA seems to no longer read the button correctly
since the early 2019 version, so if it was a chrome or
youtube update, won't JFW face the same issue then? The
"Clickable" word to me is not an issue for me right now
as I depend upon it to tell me that I am on the "Skip
ad" button. Cheers.

Hi Jaffar,
Can you confirm whether the issue is with newer
versions of NVDA, or recent updates to YouTube (or
your browser)?
Looking at YouTube in FireFox 68.0.1 with NVDA
2019.2rc1, I can see a "Clickable skip ad" button
when there is an ad showing. You can either get to
it with tab or b (or shift+tab or shift+b), or you
can do an NVDA search for "skip" is usually enough
to find it.
For the "clickable" part, if you don't want
clickable announced, you can turn that off in NVDA's
document settings (NVDA+control+d)
I must admit, I have a YouTube subscription so I
haven't seen ads in awhile to know if that behaviour
has changed lately.
Kind regards
Quentin.
Hi. Not so long
ago, with the previous versions, the "Skip ad"
button
on youtube could be read by NVDA. Now however, the
newer versions of
NVDA seem to read that particular button just as
"Clickable". It is
rather unfortunate that one has to navigate to the
slider which allows
us to skip a video back or forward, then arrow up to
the "clickable"
button immediately above the slider to activate it.
The "Skip ad"
button is still recognized by JFW as usual. Perhaps
I am missing
something? Just letting the NVDA team know.
Cheers!
