Option to download Zoom transcript

Until yesterday, we had the option to download the raw transcripts from Zoom calls. Today, it has disappeared. Was it removed or moved to a different location?

Hi ​@asdety,

 

We’re glad to have you here. The raw transcript download option is still available—it hasn't been removed.

 

Just open the recording or call, go to the Transcripts tab, click the More (⋯) menu next to the transcript, and select Download.

 

If you're using Zoom Contact Center, you'll also find the Download option in the More (⋯) menu for the transcript.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the quick response. It looks like the Download option is no longer available. It was available to be up to yesterday. Could it have been disabled by enterprise control?

Seconding that this option has disappeared for me today - a major issue! I cannot print the page or save as a PDF, only the AI summary appears.

After recording when I click on transcripts I only get the following message: You are not allowing meeting hosts to retain and access meeting transcripts.

Until yesterday, I could reliably download meeting transcripts (as a .txt file) from the transcript/summary screen in the Zoom Workplace app (Hub/Notes workflow). Today, the download option is gone, and the transcript text can’t even be highlighted for copy/paste—despite the transcript still being viewable.

This change breaks a workflow I’ve used for months to archive transcripts and move them into our documentation systems. If this is an intentional policy/security change, it needs to be clearly communicated and controllable by admins. If it’s a bug or regression, it needs an urgent fix.

In addition to removing the transcript download option, the transcript viewer now prevents basic text selection— I can’t even highlight the transcript to copy/paste it into another document. This blocks normal documentation and compliance workflows where we need to move transcript text into our own systems.

From a user perspective, this feels like a deliberate restriction that pushes people toward using Zoom’s built-in AI features instead of letting customers export and work with their own meeting data. If this is a security/admin-controlled setting, it should be clearly labeled and configurable. If it’s a product change, it needs transparent communication and an alternative export method.
