Video Introduction to Web Accessibility and W3C Standards

I find it troubling that a video player on a WAI site is inaccessible to
screen reader users. Using IE 11 and JAWS 17, I attempted to access the Video
Introduction to Web Accessibility and W3C Standards
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/videos/standards-and-benefits.html> media. I
encountered the following issues.


Incorrect use of headings

Video Introduction to Web Accessibility and W3C Standards — <h1>
Media player — <h3>


Inaccessible media player

video player region

0:00Speed: 1x

Video play region end



How can one hope to convince others that Web accessibility is the right
thing to do when the page with the video is representative of not doing the
right thing.
