Can you turn on transcripts for all your meetings using a global setting ?

[fgareeboo]

Instead of having to turn on transcripts during each meeting, is there a way to enable transcripts for all of my meetings and also have the option for a 'company wide' switch to turn on transcripts for all meetings ?  If that feature is not available, could it be added to Zoom please ?

Hello,

Automated captions can be set at a global level for accounts. You can find steps to enable below:

-Please note the prerequisite about the minimum client version needed.

Hi !

Thanks for the quick response !!! To clarify, this allows hosts and users to turn on automated captions correct ?  This does not turn on automated captions for all meetings.  I am looking for the latter.  This is because often hosts do not turn on captioning and team members who need captioning for accessibility reasons find it uncomfortable to ask the host to turn it on.  thx !

Automated captions would allow attendees to turn on captions without first asking permission from the host first. It will not have captions on for all attendees, only those who choose to show them.
