Closed captions auto enabled for all?

Is there a way to have closed captioning always enabled at a system level, without having to request this be turned on by the meeting host in each meeting?

I pasted your post into Zoom’s ZVA AI agent, and this was the response:

 

Thanks for your question. Zoom does not currently offer a setting to force closed captioning to be enabled automatically for all meetings at a system or account level. Closed captioning (including automated captions) must be enabled by the meeting host for each meeting, or set as a default in the host’s meeting settings so it is available when meetings start.

 

However, account owners and admins can enable the automated captions feature for all users in their account, which allows hosts to turn on captions in their meetings. But the host still needs to start the captions during each meeting, or participants can request captions from the host if they are not enabled.
