Hello everyone! In YouTube version 21.13.6, accessibility for the blind has worsened. You can no longer manually select the video playback quality. When you open that menu, VoiceOver doesn’t find or announce anything there except the current video quality. I hope the developers fix this in the next version. Take care, everyone!

another issue
I also can no longer read the description of a video with voiceover. I don't know how long this bug may have been present since I don't often read the video descriptions, so maybe you guys were already aware.
Yes same issue"
Can't seem to read description of youtube videos either. a workaround is using screen recognition.
Video player
It's now only a button, not a heading. Both on the player expanded and collapsed at the bottom.
Many issues now
You can no longer read video descriptions even with screen recognition since there's no way to expand them and it wouldn't read longer ones. There's also a random issue where you can't use any of the side buttons in Shorts (like the like/dislike buttons). Trying to read posts is a crap shoot; sometimes you can and sometimes you can't (you'll never see everything posted by the people you follow in that tab no matter what you do). It is definitely getting worse though. Within the past month I have seen more problems than I saw in the past several years and unlike those, none of these are being addressed, there are just more of them.
I wrote a review
Hello everyone! I wrote a review in the app store about this problem and also about the fact that it is impossible to read the video description. I suggest you all do the same. I'm glad they'll pay attention to it and fix it as soon as possible! Good luck to everyone
