Hi Kristina,

It could help contextualise the video so I'm not against the idea. What I typically do is to add a textbox along with the video if it needs explanation - eg when our music students film a performance they add a reflective statement about the activity in the video. 
It's something that you would want to be able to switch off though, either sitewide (simpler) or by item with a site default setting. Having the option to display (or not) the description field should really apply to all files - for example when you add a block of files to download it automatically adds the description field along with the shortname of the file even if description is empty - see image in this discussion for an example - https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=4841#post21281 

Regards, Gordon.

Title:
  Hide embedded media filename

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Enhancement rather than a bug:
  When displaying video content using the embedded media plugin it automatically provides a link with the filename. Having an option to hide this would improve the look of the displayed page. Attached image shows an example of how the filename links clutter a video-rich page.
