4. How to add AltText on BlueSky? 

BlueSky has an option to add these image descriptions through AltText. For doing so, when you upload an image to this platform, you get an option to add the AltText at the top left corner. Once you click on this you can add a thousand character description. /6

You can also require alt text for all images you share.

I do, and can't post an image without alt text.

bsky.app/profile/bhav... has more details.
5. What if I forget to add #AltText? 

To ensure that you don't forget to add image descriptions, you can go to the settings and turn on the 'require alt text on images' feature, which will remind you before posting an image and ensure that all have descriptions. /7

If you're not familiar with Alt Text, there's a great primer thread here on what it is & why it's important: bsky.app/profile/bhav...

To help you remember alt text for your posts, you can go to your Bsky Settings > Accessibility > Check the box for "Require alt text before posting"
Let's start with the basics! 

1.What is #AltText? 

AltText is a way of adding image descriptions to images so that blind/visually impaired people, people with vision issues/low vision and people who use screen readers can view the content and be part of conversations. /1
