Mario, I don't hear that announcement using IE11. Interesting that you do with IE10. Once in a while F5 will cause an ad to restart, but those are the short ones. F5 is ideal to cut short the long, rambling ads that often show up on YouTube.

Cc: Mario Subject: Re: Google Chrome and YouTube in my experience, using IE 10 and JAWS 16, it is announced when the ad can be skipped. that's when you press f5. if it isn't announced that the ad can be skipped, pressing f5 starts the ad playing again.
