Transcript menu/option missing in Breakout Rooms (Zoom Workplace 7.0.5)

I’ve noticed the same behavior in recent Zoom Workplace versions. It appears that while closed captions continue to work in Breakout Rooms, the option to view or save live transcripts is no longer available within those rooms.

As far as I know, this is currently a limitation of Zoom’s transcription feature rather than a setting issue on your account or device. Meeting hosts can still access transcripts from the main session, but transcript saving from individual Breakout Rooms is not supported.

A possible workaround is to bring participants back to the main room when transcript capture is required, or use local note-taking/recording methods if permitted by your organization’s policies.

It would be great if Zoom could clarify whether this was an intentional change and consider adding transcript saving for Breakout Rooms in a future update. I’d support that feature request as well.

I’m seeing the same behavior on Zoom Workplace 7.0.5.

Before updating, I was able to save transcripts from Breakout Rooms without any issues. Now, captions still appear, but the transcript/save option is no longer available inside Breakout Rooms. The feature still works as expected in the main session.

We rely heavily on Breakout Rooms for customer meetings and workshops, so this has had a noticeable impact on our workflow.

It would be great to hear whether this is an intentional change or a bug introduced in a recent update.

Yes  -- this is a substantial downgrade. We have many important meetings that happen in breakout rooms with action items. Closed captions is fine, but they are not a replacement for a running/ savable transcript. 

Any updates on this?
