Is it possible to enable live transcription for all meetings of an account?

For accessibility purposes we'd like to have every meeting automatically enable live transcription so that we don't have to have a host/co-host individually start the transcription/captions for every meeting we have on our account.  To be clear, we don't just want them to be available, we want them to be turned on by default for every meeting.

 

Is this possible?

Unfortunately, that is not currently possible. Live transcriptions must be enabled by the host in each session. We are looking into ways to make this easier for use, but have no ETA for when this will be available.

I agree with Dr_Jules and ptrin, Bort. I'm a little mystified as to why we cannot set the Enable Auto-Transcription for all webinars hosted in the account by default. There's no reason why it should be so difficult for attendees to turn on live captions/subtitles and the live transcription if they need them.

 

Thanks,
