# <iframe> has no title

`a11y/frame-title` · severity **warn** · category Accessibility · detected by `void a11y` and `void audit`

## Why it matters

Screen readers announce an iframe by its title. Without one, users hear only "frame" and cannot tell a video, map or ad apart from content.

## How to fix it

Add a short title that describes the embedded content.

## Example

```
<iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/…" title="Product demo video"></iframe>
```
