Need help exporting transcript of "My Notes"

When I try to export “My Notes” from a meeting, it lets me export the “summary” with no problems, but when I try to export the “transcript”, it only exports the title of the meeting without the transcript.

I’ve tried all the solutions google has found for me but none of them worked.  I’m hoping someone can help me.

Thank you.

Yeah, this needs to work better. ​@Gladys Stefany, Open the meeting notes/transcript on the WEB PORTAL (not the app). You can print to PDF or copy into a doc.

Hi ​@Gladys Stefany, Does your browser have a “print” option, maybe under the “file” menu? Usually if you select print, you can find an option to print to PDF. 

Or are you able to select the text and paste it into a word document?

@Gladys Stefany Found a bit more of an explanation (see below)…

👉 So,
WEB PORTAL access/signing in through a BROWSER (do not use the Zoom app) gets you to your “My Notes”;

From there, you can either:

  1. Copy and paste them into a new Word document/file (or similar).
  2. The other option is to select “File” > “Print” in your browser window, then look for the “save to PDF” option.

“Based on Zoom’s public documentation, “My Notes” and Meeting Summary transcripts are handled differently.
Zoom describes “My Notes” as a personal note-taking feature, and says the resulting notes are yours and are not automatically shared with the host or other participants. By contrast, Zoom admins & hosts can see and distribute Meeting Summary transcripts.”

Had the same problem. From all my testing, the most convenient option is to copy and paste the entire transcription into a document. It is an extremely inconvenient process, and leads to a janky output. Would love if the export feature worked.

yes, definitely a half baked functionality here.

I just paid a subscription to be able to export transcripts to find out I have to copy paste in Word to get something awfully formatted.

Needless to say I won’t be renewing my subscription.

 

Things really shouldn’t be that complicated. 

Who even comes up with such bad ideas? 

 

Let me export the transcript, and for those who want, add a AI summary.

@Dave123 this annoyed me endlessly, so I build a little something to download the transcript. I still hate that I have to do this, but if you open the notes in the browser, click open the transcript, then you can use this little bookmarklet that I created to download the raw transcript as an .md. Feel free to give it a go: https://namolnad.github.io/zoom-to-markdown/
