@daxjcastro Thank you for clarifying. I’ve watched a lot of videos that always mention limiting the alt text characters to the numbers you mentioned, which is why I thought it would be great if we could add this feature.

[a11y @xaccessibility]

@daxjcastro Hi,
I was watching your video on YouTube with the Microsoft team. I have some feedback that I’d like you to share with them. In the Microsoft app, when writing alt text, it would be great if they could display the number of characters written.
Thanks!
