How are you all making your IG more accessible?

Question

Hello!Our website was recently flagged for accessibility issues, and now my managers are putting a lot of pressure to make social media more accessible as well. I agree that it is important, but without being able to schedule alt text for Instagram via Sprout, how is everyone doing this?I am a team of one, and I manage multiple channels and post multiple times a day. Do I need to manually add the alt text every single time a post goes out? That seems unsustainable, especially if I am busy in meetings or traveling.
