Allow the addition of Alt Text for images
The addition of Alt Text is a basic accessibility consideration. Currently we can't do this is Teams (you can do it easily in Yammer).
Currently we are using the work around of adding descriptive text when posting an image.

I also hope Microsoft is fixing this issue ASAP. It is a core feature for users who cannot see images clearly and need alt text read via a screen reader to understand image content.

I'm very much in support of all the comments on this thread. It's unacceptable that this functionality is not included in Teams. I represent a peak body for communications consumers. We actively advocate for accessible communications and see this as a major failing of your product; it's an impediment to the roll out of Teams in any organization that employs or liaises with people with disability. Fix it!

Alt-text is super important for screen reader users, it can't be avoided. It's the USA law Sec 508!!

If you are truly an accessible organization and believe in giving everyone access, we shouldn't even have to ask you to do this or vote on this.

I cannot believe that this is not available. Alt-text is a basic function that allows the widest use of Teams and is at the heart of inclusivity. When can this be sorted?

This is a standard feature and needs to be added urgently. Not a nice to have

I'm really shocked that this feature hasn't been added as standard and that we're having to ask for it!
