 > However, this patch and the track ticket are specifically for **Screen
 Reader** announcements, not just the appearance of error messages. To
 properly test it, you’ll need to use a screen reader like VoiceOver (Mac)
 or NVDA (Windows). I'd really appreciate it if you could verify the
 announcements using a screen reader.

 > Edit:
 > Please test the announcements by trying to upload the images from the
 **Add New Media Files** tab.

 Hello @yogeshbhutkar,

 Thanks for pointing it out 👍.

 - PHP Version: 7.4.31-dev
 - Database version: 3.40.1
 - Browser: Google Chrome
 - OS: macOS

 **Test Results**

 ✅ In case of uploading some file in unsupported format from the **Add
 Media File**, the error message is visible, and it's accessible through
 screen reader (VoiceOver)

 🤔 In case of uploading some file in unsupported format from the **Media
 Library**, the error message is visible but the message is not accessible
 though screen reader. Also the error message is not the same that appears
 in the above scenario. The users can upload media in both ways, so the
 behavior should be consistent across the dashboard.
