We call this "integrated description" in the Making Audio and Video Media Accessible resource. It's covered in the page on preparing audio and video content: https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/av-content/#plan-description and throughout the description page: https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/description/ I'll have a look if we might want to add "(also called 'embedded described video')"...

The caption track (or extracted transcript) would capture any information needed for deaf or deaf-blind audiences. A narrated presentation is also useful for reinforcing content for all hearing viewers. > > https://acb.org/adp/articles/edv.html <https://acb.org/adp/articles/edv.html> > > This approach is used in many commercial documentaries and short marketing films, and it definitely makes it much easier for students with visual disabilities to use without separate accommodations. Captions will still be needed, but these are much less expensive and time consuming than providing a separate audio description track.
