Comment (by shubhtoy):
Thank you for bringing this up.
I tested the issue using a screen reader and found that the video caption
is indeed not announced when the video receives focus. However, after
adding the `aria-labelledby` attribute, the caption was correctly
announced.
Since the `core/video` block is part of Gutenberg, this should ideally be
addressed there. I will go ahead and raise the issue in the Gutenberg
repository, referencing this ticket and providing a link once it's
created.
Thanks again for reporting this!
