Alt Text exporting from Lightroom Classic

I'm testing out Alt Text metadata when exporting from Lightroom. I'm exporting jpgs with All Metadata (no exclusions). When I export the jpg, I don't see any Alt Text when I open the image in Mac OS Preview and look through the different bits of metadata. I also opened in it in Media Info app and didn't see anything. And when I update it to my website, my website hosting software doesn't see any Alt Text in the metadata (though in this case, I'm not sure that my website host Duda is pulling this metadata to creat alt text). 

 

Anyone successfully getting Alt Text out of Lightroom? Where do you look to confirm?

Assuming you had selected All Metadata in the Export dialog, it's definitely being exported and can be viewed in Adobe Bridge. Here in Bridge's File Info:

Yes. It's there! Thank you. Next to see if I can get my website CMS system to extract it/use it.
