Comment (by nrqsnchz):

 >For accessibility, is this figure/figcaption method the best way to add
 alt text to videos?

 I wasn't sure either and reached out to @joedolson for guidance.

 > [...] what matters is just that it's clear that the description of the
 video is associated with the video. figure/figcaption would probably
 suffice there. The figcaption should be connected to the figure using
 aria-labelledby; this is required to support IE11.


 If the video has voice audio, a text equivalent needs to be provided. If
 the video just shows a flow or action being performed, then the process
 needs to be described in text.

 >Key thing is remembering the target audience for the description, and
 that they need to get the same level of information from the description
 as a sighted audience gets from watching.
