Description

STR:

  1. Open a group chat or single chat that has at least one video message.
  2. Turn on VoiceOver.
  3. Try to find the message containing the video to play it.
    • Actual: Swiping left and right jumps over the video message. If exploring the screen at the position where the video message should be, the screen is blank, at least in VoiceOver's view.
    • Expected: VoiceOver should "see" this like any other message and be able to activate video playback.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a group or single chat with a video message while VoiceOver is enabled. Trace how the video message is exposed to VoiceOver and how playback is activated; done means swiping reaches the message, its content is visible to VoiceOver, and video playback can be activated.
