   I've always been a bit unclear. Are you supposed to alt text a video link? I mean it's not like I'm going to write a whole video transcript.

     @dropbear @JessTheUnstill Especially if it's just a link out, I think it's sufficient for the alt text to describe the same or slightly more than what a sighted person would get looking at the preview. Transcription belongs on the video itself not on the link.
