In the meeting I want to get the transcripts without recording the meeting. I tried by turning on the caption but at no point did I get the choice/button for transcript. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi ​@N Prasad,

     

    We’re glad to have you here!

    To get a transcript without recording, you need to use automated captions (live transcription) during the meeting. In Zoom, the transcript is accessed from the captions/CC controls while the meeting is running (it’s a “view/save captions” type workflow, not a post-meeting transcript like cloud recording).

    If you turned on captions but never saw any transcript options, the most common causes are:

    • Automated captions aren’t enabled at the account/group/host level, so you can turn on “captions” but you won’t get live transcription features.
    • You’re not the host (or don’t have permission) to start automated captions / allow participants to save them.
    • You’re using a client/platform that doesn’t show the same caption/transcript controls (try the latest Zoom Workplace desktop client).
