How to enable Live Transcription so that default view is transcription hidden?

At our meetings we have one participant who was born deaf and uses a cochlear implant. She can benefit from Live Transcription. I learned how to enable Live Transcription, but the default view seems to be to show the transcription to everyone. This would require everyone at the meeting who does not require a transcription to turn off the service. Is there a way to change the default view to hide the transcription, and require an action on the part of the participants to show it?

 

Thanks,

Jack

Hi @jack1147 

Right now, its an all or nothing setting, but there are some enhancements coming for live transcription that will make this easier to control on an individual level.

... and I usually say something like, "I'm about to start the live captioning feature of Zoom.  If you don't want to see the captions, click on the Live Transcript button at the bottom of your screen (or it might be in the More... button) and click the Hide Subtitle menu item."  15 seconds of user education. 👍
