My question is whether there is an alternative protocol that
@DangerousSafe@mastodon.social could use to add the video that wouldn’t run into this issue.

I see ALT and GIF tags on videos in the mobile clients for Mastodon, DDG and even Safari on many videos. But this one doesn’t come up.

So, it makes me wonder what the difference is in the way the ALT text is embedded and whether there are any mobile clients where this works or if it’s exclusively available in desktop view.

Hey
@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social do screen readers need an "alt" button on a video to hear the alt text or do they pick it up anyway?

Are you able to hear the alt text on the post at
https://mastodon.social/@DangerousSafe/115567511922604303 for example?
