I usually look at Mastodon through a browser on my phone, but I can no longer tell if videos have Alt Text or not. One of the updates seemed to change that. Does anyone know a workaround that doesn’t involve me using an app instead? Thanks in advance.

That's pretty strange. Can confirm alt text labels are fine on mobile Firefox Msstodon version 4.5.2

It may be a beige.party thing. You are on 4.4.8, but your admin announced you will be upgrading soon.

Think you should just hang in there and see what happens when you are upgraded to 4.5.x

Cheers!

@mastodonmigration On Chromium, I pressed and held the video and it pops up.

There doesn't appear to be an "alt" button like there is hide or used to have.

Below is the alt-text I used for this video when I posted it.

It doesn’t seem to work on DDG or Vivaldi.

@LoganFive

Works for me in Vivaldi. Maybe the video you tried just doesn't have any alt text?
