I’ve been recommending `<video>` elements for short-form, looping, inline clips (GIFs, etc.) for a while. The biggest pain point I hear from folks is the lack of an `alt` attribute.
Last week I made an issue for that: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11080
Could probably use more reactions/discussion?
@tylersticka can you use aria-description or aria-describedby? https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.3/#aria-description
@georgelund You could, but I’m not sure what you’d gain compared to `aria-label` / `aria-labelledby`?
@tylersticka there's an explanation on there about how the label is supposed to be short, but the description can be long - basically it's alt text aiui
@georgelund Gotcha. That’s a fair critique of label/labelledby, but it doesn’t really solve other pain points in the issue I opened.
@georgelund I decided to update the issue to mention those attributes in the context of the existing label examples. Thank you for pointing that out!
