Vimeo iframe does not pass events to parent

[pgouldmiro]

We currently use the Vimeo iframe within a modal.

We listen for keyboard events, in particular the Esc key to close the modal. This is important both from a usability perspective, but as well as accessibility to ensure keyboard-only users are not trapped in content (WCAG Success Criterion 2.1.2).

It appears that no user input events get passed from the Vimeo iframe back to the parent. This means that if the user is focused within the Vimeo iframe, we cannot intercept the Esc key event to close the modal.

Expected Behavior

User input event should be passed back to the parent, preferably using window.postMessage().

Actual Behavior

No user input events get passed from the Vimeo iframe back to the parent

Steps to Reproduce

1. Embed a Vimeo iframe onto a page
2. Using the Tab key, tab until one of the elements within the Vimeo iframe is focused
3. Press the Esc key
4. Event listeners on the parent page will not receive the event

Thanks for leaving this feedback @pgouldmiro. This is not a feature the SDK currently supports, but we've filed an internal ticket to explore eventually adding support.
