Re: Why is there no alt attribute associated with the poster attribute on a video element (or, what's the accessible name calculation on a video element

There were lengthy discussions about this back in the day - you should be
able to Google them.

In essence: the poster is a visual summarisation of the video. The video's
alt tag is a text summarisation of the video. You only need one summary in
text.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Silvia.
