Closed Captions & Audio Transcriptions for Cloud Recordings

Overview

Zoom can automatically transcribe the audio of meetings you record to the cloud. The host can choose to:

To enable automatic transcription, log into the Zoom portal and enable the following settings:

- Automatic Transcription - Check this box to have Zoom automatically transcribe meetings you record to the cloud.
- Viewers can See the Transcript - If you enable this setting, students who play the meeting recording will see a searchable transcript that plays along with the video.

Note: Audio transcription only supports English at this time.

If automatic transcription is enabled, Zoom starts generating the transcript for the meeting once the meeting ends.
