Keyboard controls not available until focus on iframe

[Hugo-COLLIN]

You need to be focus on the player (e.g. by clicking on it) to use keyboard shortcuts. Then if you click somewhere else it's over.

Tried several ways but didn't work for me:

• Dummy input: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33899401/setting-keyboard-focus-to-youtube-embed/34008994#34008994
• Load the YouTube IFrame Player API (inject script tag with the Youtube Iframe API inside Youtube itself didn't work for me) Goal: Use player = new YT.player instead of creating an iframe to be able to use advanced YT controls
• Use enablejsapi=1 url parameter to enable iframe controls

If someone gets there the youtube experience will be globally restored.

Unfortunately(?) youtube is again not giving me the ad blockers arent allowed screen so I cant test anything.

You could try something like player.click(); every time someone presses a key or Adding an even listener for key board inputs and manually mapping the keyboard to click elements in the iframe?

I found out that if uBlock Origin is the ONLY ad blocker active, it will get around YouTube's ban. I use Vivaldi browser and the Enhance for YouTube extension and had to turn off their ad blocking so that uBlock was strictly the only ad blocker. Ironically, enabling another ad blocker might get the ban screen to show up for you again.
