For blind SR users I'd add as BEST PRACTICE:

Consider a text alternative with rich semantics (headings, lists, ...), not only a transcript. For instance, a ordered list describes step by step what has to be done.
This takes less time to perceive information, navigate between steps and copy text to edit.

And sometimes a description for an alternative way to perform the functionality with keyboard only might be a necessary nice to have:
Think of a video that shows where to click on the screen to print. The information should be provided that ctrl + p does the same.

And provide the corresponding heading information:
- Video transcript: Printing with a mouse click
- Printing with keyboard shortcuts
