Description
Berkeley has reported an accessibility issue that is affecting all video components. Here’s what they shared:
”We would like to report an accessibility issue that was flagged during an
external audit of the BerkeleyX courses and this issue affects all Video
Components. The drag and drop functionality for captions in video players
do not have a keyboard alternative. All controls and functions that can be
used with a mouse must be reachable and operable with a keyboard. Please
see WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard
<Understanding Success Criterion 2.1.1: Keyboard | WAI | W3C > for more
information on keyboard accessibility.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Locate the video components and their caption drag-and-drop controls, then review how keyboard users currently reach and operate them; done means the caption functionality has a keyboard-operable alternative that satisfies WCAG 2.1.1 across the affected video components.
