Beautiful Snake Video

In this context, video description is a text-based description of a short video that is posted on a social media platform such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, TikTok, or a similar platform. I think of video descriptions of being the equivalent of alt text for videos, as they describe visual information for audiences that might not be able to see it otherwise. However, unlike alt text, video descriptions can be read by anyone, even if they aren’t using assistive technology.
