How do you get captions if you are the host of a zoom with a free account? I looked online but the directions are not applicable. I signed on in a web browser. It says --In the navigation menu, click Settings. I don't see anything that says settings.

To start manual captioning in a Zoom meeting or webinar: Start a Zoom Meeting or Webinar. In the meeting controls next to the Show Captions option, click the up-caret . Select the Set up manual captioner option, and then click the On option under Enable manual captioner.
