Hey!

 

I was wondering if there is a way to download a zoom meeting recording whilst keeping the subtitles, as atm they disappear on the recording?

 

Thanks in advance!

Zoom has a feature called Audio Transcription.

Audio transcription automatically transcribes the audio of a meeting or webinar that you record to the cloud. After this transcript is processed, it appears as a separate VTT file in the list of recorded meetings. In addition, you have the option to display the transcript text within the video itself, similar to a closed caption display

Here is the Zoom article that I found: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004794983-Audio-transcription-for-cloud-recordings

But if you download the recording, the audio transcription will not show or will not include in your downloaded recording.

You can download the recording with the transcription as a separate file. You can do this within the web portal by navigating to the relevant recording and exporting the VTT file. To speed this up you can also download Zoom recordings and transcriptions in bulk using Salepager.

Hello,

 

Yes I am aware of the VTT files that are created afterwards. As we edit the videos, the transcripts don't align with the VTT file. Will there be an update on Zoom  where when a recording is downloaded the subtitles stay every time?

Wondering the same thing. I need the CC in the downloaded recording.
