Writing alt text for videos

Writing alt text for videos

People with visual or aural impairment may not be able to perceive videos. The alt text should contain a transcript of the audio content and any text elements, and descriptions of visual elements or sequences not adequately described by the audio transcript (as you would do for a still image or figure). It may be appropriate to also provide an audio description, and closed or open captions.
