From a users perspective
If I as a screen reader user can determine that there is a video,
I need to be sure that the information that is being conveyed on the video is the same as what is being explained through the dialogue
If the dialogue is telling me to click on elements, instead of specific keyboard, commands , there needs to be audio description placed into the video.
This is my perspective.
I’m
I am interested to hear what other people think about this
Have a great day

In this case, I have a series of very short (under one minute) videos that describe how to do something on line, such as find a specific report. The video begins with an animated character who narrates the video. The rest of the video is all screencast showing the actions in the computer interface. All the information the user needs is in the narration, i.e., there's no "follow the prompts on the screen." So, do we need to describe the animated character and the actions on the screen? (Example: a rectangle appears around the Next button.)
