User Experience
Screen reader users rely on descriptive information such as name, role, and value to understand and interact with controls. When the video progress bar slider does not provide descriptive information, users may not know its purpose, current position, or how to interact with it, making media navigation difficult.

Repro Steps

Open the page: https://dev.infosec-skills.com/portal/skills/content/asset/video/1182?content_tree=33581%2F17472%2F1182 and log in.

Navigate to the video player.

Use screen reader navigation to move focus to the video progress bar slider.

Observe the screen reader announcement.

Actual Result
The screen reader does not announce descriptive information (such as name, role, or current value) for the video progress bar slider.

Expected Result
The video progress bar slider should have proper accessible name, role (slider), and value. The screen reader should announce meaningful information such as current time and total duration (e.g., “2 minutes 10 seconds of 5 minutes”).
