 Library, the error message is visible but the message is not accessible
 though screen reader.

 Yes, you're right! If you upload a file directly from the Media Library
 instead of navigating to **Add Media File**, VoiceOver doesn’t catch the
 error announcement. However, I can see it in the `a11y HTML` markup. This
 might be due to the focus shifting to the dismiss button. Introducing a
 slight delay in triggering the speak event should resolve the issue.
