How to Enable Live Transcription for Breakout Rooms in Zoom Meetings

Hi everyone — I’ve noticed that live transcription works in the main session, but I’m unsure how to set it up so participants can see captions inside breakout rooms. Has anyone successfully enabled live transcription for breakout sessions? What settings or account permissions are required?

Thanks in advance!

    HI ​@Hedda Gabler ,

    Breakout sessions are not recorded or transcribed, just the main room.
    If you want to see the transcript or chat, or even a recording of a breakout room, you would have to be in that room to recorded them live
