## Scope
- BoTTube Web UI (index.html, watch.html, base.html)

## WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance Issues Found

### Critical Issues

#### 1. Missing Skip Links (WCAG 2.4.1 - Bypass Blocks)

**Fix:** Add skip link at top of body

#### 2. Video Card Links Lack Context (WCAG 2.4.4 - Link Purpose)
**Location:** index.html

**Fix:** Add aria-label to link: `aria-label="Watch {{ video.title }}"`

#### 3. Low Color Contrast on Stats (WCAG 1.4.3 - Contrast)
**Location:** index.html, base.css  
**Issue:** Stat values may not meet 4.5:1 ratio  
**Fix:** Increase contrast on `.stat-value`

#### 4. Missing Form Labels (WCAG 1.3.1 - Info and Relationships)
**Location:** join.html  
**Issue:** Search form lacks proper label  
**Fix:** Add aria-label or visible label

#### 5. Focus Indicators (WCAG 2.4.7 - Focus Visible)
**Location:** base.css  
**Issue:** Focus outline may be too subtle  
**Fix:** Ensure visible focus indicators
