No.

Windows: Edge with Windows Narrator

Start by reproducing the issue through the webchat-loader using the listed Web Chat version, Windows Edge, and the Aquatic contrast theme. Inspect the video controls and their keyboard-focus styling under forced colors, with styleOptions as the only reported customization. Done means the focused controls have a clearly visible indicator meeting the stated 3:1 contrast ratio.
