Editing the Audio Transcript

I'm trying to edit an live transcript on a cloud recording. The Zoom help page says that the transcript should appear in a right panel after clicking play. What I get in a right panel is the chat from the meeting.I can turn CC on or off., but I can't find a way to view and edit the transcript. 

 

I've seen this described elsewhere but haven't seen any solutions to it. 

 

Any help out there? Thanks.

    Hi, @prplmtns 

    To create a Transcript file, Transcript creation must be enabled in the recording settings.

    Is Create audio transcrit turned on in the recording settings?

    To edit a Transcript file, play the recording and hover the mouse pointer over the text to be edited and click the pencil mark that appears.
    The edit window will then appear.

    Editing can only be performed by the host.

    Does the edited transcript automatically save once I have completed the edits so that I can download a revised transcript?

    I have this same question about edited transcripts. Did you ever receive a response?

    You need to be on zoom.us rather than events.zoom.us

    Go to "Recordings" on the left hand side

    Click on the name of the webinar you want to amend the captions on

    On the left is the image of the cover of your webinar. THIS is what you click. The instruction to click the "play" button in the official Zoom 'how-to' is a red herring.

    Now you should see the pencil when you hover over the script on the right of the video.
