Hi guys,
Quite a while ago I posted here about the very same subject and at
that time there was a workaround that really worked like a charm.
Trouble is, it doesn't seem to work anymore.
So, would any of you happen to know of a way to get to the comments'
section on a YouTube video in a reliable manner?
Lately, for me, it's been a hit and miss. And honestly, let me tell
you, it has been more of a miss than a hit. Really not fun to waste
so much time with something that should be easy peasy, as I like to
say.
I'm sending this one to the NVDA add-ons list as well, in case
someone thinks it'd be a good idea to make an add-on to work with it
and give it a solution once and for all.
Were I happen to have enough skills with it I could, should and
would very well start such a project.
Cheers,
Marcio.

Hi I answered a similar request some weeks ago when I recommended a site designed for blind users which gives an ad free interface to search for and play YouTube videos. The link is: http://www.povidi.com/YourTube/ After opening the site, use the e key to jump to the search edit box, then hit the spacebar to move into focus mode (unless you have auto mode switching set in NVDA). Type in your search criteria, then pres tab to move to a combo box where you set the number of results per page. Set this to 10, 20 or 50, then press tab again. You landin another combo box where you can choose between videos, channels or playlists (I only ever use videos which is the default). Tab again to the search button and press spacebar to run the search. The results appear in a numbered list which you can access using the h key. Press this repeatedly and when you find one you want to play, press tab to move focus to it and press enter. A dialog box opens for the chosen video. Again use the h key to jup to the different sections, which include player controls, pla details, video information and video comments. You can use the b key to jump to the various player control buttons. After video has played, use alt+left arrow to return to the results list dialog at the point where you left it. Cheers Chris

Hi
Does the E key or F key not get you to that area. I tried it with the browse mode keys and it took me there.
I am wondering when you do get to that field and it says public comment or what ever it said are you changing into focus mode just in case it is not going into the mode correctly. I guess also it depends how you have it set as well.

hello,
Other than a reference to the add-ons list, I saw no reference to NVDA in this thread. This seems like an issue of navigating a particular website, and not an issue with NVDA, or learning to accomplish a task with NVDA that NVDA isn't working with or something.
If i want to jump to a comment field, I might press h to get to the comments heading, and then tab twice to get to the appropriate edit box. There seems to be an issue where the edit box is not recognized as such by NVDA, so pressing e won't jump there. had the question been referencing the edit box not being recognized by NVDA, or had the message referenced NVDA in pretty much any way, it would have been on topic.

I just used NVDA with the "e" command on some live TV you tube channel
with Waterfox browser,
It jumped to the comment editable section as it should be.

Actually this is marked by a heading, the problem is that you never
know when said heading will show up.
One can keep going back and forth even for some minutes and
sometimes it's not there at all.
@Nimer, sorry for not referencing NVDA on this topic. My bad, it
won't happen again.
Just for clarification, I'm using NVDA
when trying to reach this section and well, the other things I've
already said. It's absolutely a "hit and miss".

Here it doesn't happen at all. At best, I can reach the comments
using the "jump by heading" command.
Using Firefox, so I think it should work the same way as Waterfox.
Go figure!

I just used NVDA with the "e" command on some live TV you tube channel
with Waterfox browser,
It jumped to the comment editable section as it should be.

hello,
Other than a reference to the add-ons list, I saw no reference to NVDA in
this thread. This seems like an issue of navigating a particular website,
and not an issue with NVDA, or learning to accomplish a task with NVDA that
NVDA isn't working with or something.
If i want to jump to a comment field, I might press h to get to the
comments heading, and then tab twice to get to the appropriate edit box.
There seems to be an issue where the edit box is not recognized as such by
NVDA, so pressing e won't jump there. had the question been referencing the
edit box not being recognized by NVDA, or had the message referenced NVDA
in pretty much any way, it would have been on topic.
thanks.

After opening the site, use the e key to jump to the search edit box,
then
hit the spacebar to move into focus mode (unless you have auto mode
switching set in NVDA). Type in your search criteria, then pres tab to
move to a combo box where you set the number of results per page. Set
this
to 10, 20 or 50, then press tab again. You landin another combo box
where
you can choose between videos, channels or playlists (I only ever use
videos which is the default). Tab again to the search button and press
spacebar to run the search.
The results appear in a numbered list which you can access using the h
key. Press this repeatedly and when you find one you want to play, press
tab to move focus to it and press enter. A dialog box opens for the
chosen
video. Again use the h key to jup to the different sections, which
include
player controls, pla details, video information and video comments. You
can
use the b key to jump to the various player control buttons.
After video has played, use alt+left arrow to return to the results list

Hi guys,
Quite a while ago I posted here about the very same subject and at that
time there was a workaround that really worked like a charm.
Trouble is, it doesn't seem to work anymore.
So, would any of you happen to know of a way to get to the comments'
section on a YouTube video in a reliable manner?
Lately, for me, it's been a hit and miss. And honestly, let me tell you,
it has been more of a miss than a hit. Really not fun to waste so much
time
with something that should be easy peasy, as I like to say.
I'm sending this one to the NVDA add-ons list as well, in case someone
thinks it'd be a good idea to make an add-on to work with it and give it
a
solution once and for all.
Were I happen to have enough skills with it I could, should and would
very
well start such a project.

Gene NZ,
Using browse mode, pressing F/shift+F (or E/shift+E), all I can get
is the search field for searching a video.
No comments section at all.

... disse:
Hi
Does the E key or F key not get you to that area. I tried it
with the browse mode keys and it took me there.
I am wondering when you do get to that field and it says public
comment or what ever it said are you changing into focus mode
just in case it is not going into the mode correctly. I guess
also it depends how you have it set as well.

What are we talking about? The accessible
Youtube site or the main site? On the accessible site, the various items
have text labels above them such as comments. I believe the page may list
shortcuts for getting to various sections. If people haven't read this,
its another example of why people should look around on unfamiliar pages and not
assume things are of no interest. Its the same reason people should look
at a complete e-mail message sent on whatever topic a member sends one on, on an
e-mail list. They will see footers with all sorts of useful links such as
unsubscribe, perhaps nomail links, and maybe other useful links and
information.
Aside from that, I didn't bother learning the
shortcuts. I may have learned ones I was interested in if I was going to
use the site at all frequently, but there is a text label above every
section. There is a comments label. If you use the screen-reader's
search feature from the top of the page and search for comments, you will find
it efficiently.
If people are talking about the Youtube web page,
you may find things differently, if they are consistently accessible on
different pages. At this point, it isn't clear who is talking about
what.

The reason you find the comments field by using
headings from certain parts of the page and not others is probably because the
page changes depending on where you are. Some pages change what they show
depending on where you are on the page. The description sounds as though a
Youtube video page does this.
I'm not sure how common this is
but I have seen it on occasion.

Yes, you are right, youtube pages definitely do this; the comments are not visible unless you scroll down a bit, I believe, although I’m not positive exactly how it works. I have successfully commented on a few things, but, it is generally hit-and-miss, as has been said before. It sometimes seems as though the cursor is not staying in place, or not remaining where one thinks it should be, and so typing does not always yield the expected result!

Yep, same here. And I believe the same thing happens under chrome. I never watch youtube videos in chrome and rarely do I do so on my windows pc. What i have done on the mac side of things is do a seatch for the word "comment" after pausing the video with k. Then I just figure out what is what but it is even worse under the mac with chrome.

just in case it is not going into the mode correctly. I guess
also it depends how you have it set as well.

Hi guys,
Quite a while ago I posted here about the very same
subject and at that time there was a workaround that
really worked like a charm.
Trouble is, it doesn't seem to work anymore.
So, would any of you happen to know of a way to get to the
comments' section on a YouTube video in a reliable manner?
Lately, for me, it's been a hit and miss. And honestly,
let me tell you, it has been more of a miss than a hit.
Really not fun to waste so much time with something that
should be easy peasy, as I like to say.
I'm sending this one to the NVDA add-ons list as well, in
case someone thinks it'd be a good idea to make an add-on
to work with it and give it a solution once and for all.
Were I happen to have enough skills with it I could,
should and would very well start such a project.
Cheers,
Marcio.

Hi
It was the main you tube website.
there are a few different ways to get there.
The find command is most probably the quickest. then you might have to arrow into the edit area.
going to the bottom of the page with ctrl + end then shift key + 2 will land you on that area it seems to hit it every time for me.
Or usually the F key for form fields will get you there but you might have to do a a few times.
I think it depends what you want to do. In most cases i use the B for buttons to play them and only look around when i need to. Some times the arrow keys may be needed to get into the edit area.

Gene,
I believe the other Gene was talking about the "normal" YouTube and so I answered about it :)
Now, that's a good question. I really don't know whether I am right on this. We will have to wait for his confirmation...
Em 01/05/2019 07:23, Gene disse:
What are we talking about??? The accessible Youtube site or the main site??? On the accessible site, the various items have text labels above them such as comments.?? I believe the page may list shortcuts for getting to various sections.?? If people haven't
read this, its another example of why people should look around on unfamiliar pages and not assume things are of no interest.?? Its the same reason people should look at a complete e-mail message sent on whatever topic a member sends one on, on an e-mail list.??
They will see footers with all sorts of useful links such as unsubscribe, perhaps nomail links, and maybe other useful links and information.??
??
Aside from that, I didn't bother learning the shortcuts.?? I may have learned ones I was interested in if I was going to use the site at all frequently, but there is a text label above every section.?? There is a comments label.?? If you use the screen-reader's
search feature from the top of the page and search for comments, you will find it efficiently.??
??
If people are talking about the Youtube web page, you may find things differently, if they are consistently accessible on different pages.?? At this point, it isn't clear who is talking about what.

Gene NZ,
Using browse mode, pressing F/shift+F (or E/shift+E), all I can get is the search field for searching a video.
No comments section at all.

Hi
Does the E key or F key not get you to that area. I tried it with the browse mode keys and it took me there.

You can't post video comments, you can only read them.
