How can I have the transcripts of the close captioning available only to the host and not to any of the other meeting participants?

    In your Meeting Settings in the Zoom Portal you can turn off (uncheck) the option to " Allow viewing of full transcript in the in-meeting side panel". This is only available for Zoom client versions 5.7.0 and later.

    Hi Dan. Thank you for the tip but I already tried that. Doing that disabled viewing of the full transcript by both the host and the participants. If I am the host of a meeting, I would like to be able to save the transcript myself and not all the participants.

    Unfortunately, I don't think we offer the level of control you are seeking. Generally, the closed captioning/transcription is used for accessibility and thus would be available to everyone in meeting, host and participants alike.
