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!

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 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,
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.

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.
Regards
Quentin.

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.

With Edge dev and chrome probably, (I don't use Chrome so don't know for sure) The skip ad button is usually a clickable button that is not labeled, but with Firefox, you can get to it easily. I abandoned Google Music when they switched it to youtube
music and lowered the quality of the music files.

I don't think that is the reason for the
problem. the person said he/she, I don't remember who posed the problem,
used to find the button. I can find it but I'm using an old version of
NVDA. It seems to me that the question is how many other people no longer
see the button announced as skip ads. The problem may be on that specific
machine or affect only a small number of users, but when someone says that they
no longer see text displayed on a button and just hear clickable, that means
that the person is still seeing the button and that if the screen-reader were
reading text, it would be read.

There are ads that can be skipped and ads that
can't. You only see the button when you can skip the ad. It isn't
displayed otherwise.
The person reporting the problem sees the button on

I am unsure about a youtube search.
If its someone's channel you are going to.
usually once I put /videos or playlists at the end of the url I
can find the stuff I want to play.
I use pontes media downloader from http://scripts.pontesgames.ro
to convert all my videos to mp3 which are huge like game streams
and even mp3 music and free to watch lists.
So I avoid adds that way.
The youtube interface has become a bit slow, crashy and
troublesom.
As for the user saying that they seem to have only 1 sponsor I am
not surprised.
Youtube has had recently had to pull back on their openness of
their add system after someone hacked the add system and took
control of it.
It wasn't to bad but the fact they were able to do it and
potentially do bad things to people, including but not limited to
put fake scarey videos up on youtube, then quietly kill themselves
so they couldn't be traced is a thing to be feared.
Those people havn't got caught.
Its not that bad of an attack per say but google is one of those
big companies and for them to get compromised even in that small
way is quite bad reputation wize.
In the wake of this a lot of people pulled out of youtube adds.
Its good revenue for local content though.

(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.
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!
