Issue with “Transcript is unavailable” in Zoom Notes

In Zoom Notes, I see the live transcript during meetings and the note indicates a transcript exists afterward. When I click Done, sometimes the transcript is available quickly, but other times I get “Transcript is unavailable” or it takes 1–2 days before it appears. This happens both in the Zoom desktop app and in the browser.

The note content can be summarized, which suggests transcript data exists, but the download/transcript access appears blocked or misconfigured.

I’m having a similar problem. Did you ever find a solution?

I’m experiencing this issue now for the last 24 hours. I have about 10 notes transcripts (most are brief and for the purpose of troubleshooting my audio) and they all indicate “Transcript is unavailable.” A recently completed notes/transcription shows the status as “Transcript is being generated” but after a few minutes this changes to “Transcript is unavailable.” Doing an F5 refresh restores the status as “Transcript is being generated” but eventually changes to “Transcript is unavailable” and remains “unavailable” if I close out of the window or attempt to either open it in browser view or from another computer.

It’s still not clear to me what the problem is, or if there is truly a server lag. @Lexi Wilkins out of curiosity: have you ever been able to access a notes transcript after a prolonged period in which the status had shown as “Transcript is unavailable”?

Yes I have. Usually the next day or so it will randomly generate.

I called tech support. They are currently investigating the issue. I’ll post again if they find anything.

same all week it has been doing this. I have been missing out of saving valuable information because it doesn't generate anything and there is no way to get the original transcript back

Same issue happening to me with increasing frequency over the past several days. The transcript is showing and there right up until the end of the meeting. Then “generating transcript”, then “transcript is unavailable”. Often shows up 1-2 days later but not always. And waiting 1-2 days is not feasible.

Same thing has just happened to me with a VERY information rick and important meeting!!! I hope the transcript has not disappeared completely. I am holding out hope that it does appear in two days at least, if that is something that happens sometimes, but it is true that if this keeps happening, two day old transcripts are not going to cut it. UGGHHH.

Came here looking for others with the same issue. Mine stopped working since Wednesday and my transcripts never did show up, not even days later.
