Closed Captioning Recording

I have a paid account and have enabled closed captioning.

 

It works fine during meetings and on Cloud recordings, but does not appear when I record to my local computer.

 

Is this correct?

    Correct, captions are not automatically saved with local recordings. You would need to manually save a copy of the transcript and add the captions afterwards.

    So the only way to have the closed captions appear on the recording exactly the same as the meeting is to record to the cloud?

    Yes, you would need to use video editing software to add the captions to the video directly and export the video with the captions embedded in the video itself. 


    Hi there. I realise I'm coming very late to this conversation, but in trying to do just that, use the Zoom transcript files to caption the video in software, they seem to ask for very specific caption file types, like VTT. Do you know what the output format is for Zoom transcript files, and do you know of any conversion tools out there? I've looked but not had huge success.
