The alt text features within the platform need massive improvements.

My first request: Add an alt text option for event images. I need a work around for this asap. I’m working on an event educating folks on how to create inclusive content with alt text, and some of our speakers are visually impaired. It’s very embarrassing to promote an event on alt text, when I’m not actually using alt text.

Second request: Create an option to add the alt text without having to use the code section (the platform often strips my code which is realllly frustrating if I’ve forgotten to save)

Many industries are required by law to have alt text included. Accessibility in general should be a priority, not an afterthought. Please make this a priority!

Our organization requires that we comply with WCAG 2.1 at level AA success criteria for our users. The addition of an alt text filed to the CC template for all images and links would significantly improve the current Accessibility score we receive when we scan CC for accessibility compliance.
