    I would like to watch this video about accessibility. Unfortunately the video controls are not accessible. As a screenreader user I see no video and no controls to launch it. Please use an accessible video player. Cfr. e.g. this article: http://www.iheni.com/accessible-media-player-resources/
    I have used JAWS15 and NVDA2015.3 both in combination with IE11 and Firefox. With neither of these combination I was able to launch the video.

2. How do different kinds of visitors use your site?
3. Why are links, headings, form labels and colours important?
4. Where to find the specs and documentation and how to test your theme.
