How to Prevent Participants from Seeing Subtitles When Live Transcription is Enabled?

Hello,

 

When I enable live transcription during a Zoom meeting, I want to ensure that participants are not forced to see the subtitles.

1. Is it technically possible to prevent participants from seeing subtitles even if live transcription is enabled?

2. If it is not possible, is there a way to hide my language settings so that participants do not know which language I have selected for the subtitles?

 

I would appreciate any advice or possible workarounds.

Thank you!

Dear @Hiroto1 ,

 

For 1.: When you activate the automated captions during a meeting, the other users will not be forced to see the subtitles. They will only see them, when they turn on the subtitles themselves. They will only be informed that the automated captions have been started.

 

For 2.: For automated captions without translation that is not possible. For automated captions without translation there is only one global speaking language that will be globally set for all speakers.
For translated captions, the participants will not see for which language you have activated the translation (your caption language), or to which language you have set your speaking language.
