I posted a variation of the following message a couple of days ago, but 
the message didn't make it to the list because I'd exceeded my limit.

For the YouTube commands to work, You need to be on the right seek 
control (Jaws) or slider (NVDA). There are two. One is for volume, and 
the other is for time. They're near the Play/Pause button, so you can 
use your screen reader to find the button, then arrow around from there 
to find the seek control.

Once you find the slider, you need to press the space bar. This lets the 
screen reader know you want to work with the control. After that, you 
can use the arrows to move through the video, the space bar to stop and 
start it, the number row to move to a specific percentage of the way 
through, and the J and L to jump back or forward in 10-second increments.

If you want to stop working with the seek control, you can press the PC 
mode command in Jaws or escape key in NVDA, or you can tab away from the 
slider.
