The Auto-Generated Closed captions are a very useful tool on meetings, and I know that we have the ability to save the transcripts. I would like to see an option to automatically save the transcript of meetings, differentiated based on whether I am a participant or host. Or at least a prompt. As it currently stands if I forget to save the transcript before I leave a meeting there is no way to recover it.

Hopefully one would be able to set like other options as Default setting for your individual zoom so it doesn't have to be acted on in every zoom. Code it to auto save every so often. by host. In the host coding?

Agreed. I just lost a transcript from a 90-minute meeting. So frustrating!

It does save it if it is being audio and video recorded already.

It does not save them, even when I am recording audio and video. I had a .vtt file along with the recordings but it was blank.

Please yes!!! I lost a transcript last night because I ended the meeting before saving. There should definitely be an option to automatically save the transcript when the meeting ends.

Transcripts can only be saved manually at present, but would be amazing if could be auto-saved, like the chat is.
Running a networking group, and various other meetings, it's great to look back on to see who said what and make sure that they are attributed to the right people.
When it's not my meeting I commonly forget to save notes or transcripts and I'd rather not have a separate note-taker app installed just to do what clearly could be a very simple option.
Taking it a step further, it would be amazing to store it in the same folder as the chat file so that each meeting then has the chat and transcript together, with time coded entries to almost 'replay' the meeting.

I hope they implement this soon.

More than a year since this was first noted as a critical missing feature - and still not implemented.

Our university requires us to use Zoom for research interviews. It is devastating to forget to hit the "save" button at the end, especially when the chat is automatically saved so it seems like the underlying functionality should be there.

Perhaps it could be a feature to toggle on autosaving transcripts.

Absolutely agree that auto-saving transcripts would be incredibly helpful. Speaking personally, this is a very useful accessibility feature for neuro-divergent people.

For recorded meetings you host you can automatically save the transcript using APIs to extract the transcript programmatically after the meeting ends. If you are not a developer there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you save the transcripts as the host when recording.

The meetings that I'm not in charge of (and thus able to record and set the parameters for) are the ones I most need transcripts for. I've been working around my ADHD for years but videoconferencing meetings are far more challenging to me than in-person ones.
