  1. Enter your text into the slide description field. It will be labeled differently for each type of slide:
  • Image or document slide: “Slide description or text preview”
  • Audio slide: “Audio Recap”
  • Video slide: “Video Description”
  1. Save.

Alt text will be read by a screen reader, but it will not be visible on the page.
