Hi @vagpt,

This expand/collapse button is using Action.ToggleVisibility which is a deprecated feature. To get the expected behavior, Action.ShowCard should be used.

Alternatively, the Narrator is currently announcing the altText of the image. The card author could also manually update the expand/collapse text here when the button is clicked (although switching to Action.ShowCard is recommended).

Let me know if this doesn't solve your issue!
