Unable to find transcription file

Hi, I am unable to locate (if there is one) a VTT file after a recorded session. I have a paid subscription and saved the recording to the zoom cloud. Under Account Management-->Account Settings-->Cloud recording-->I have unchecked "record audio file only" and checked "save close caption as a VTT file" and "record active speaker with shared screen". 

Only one file returned, which is the recording itself, I don't get the option for any other files.

What am I missing? 

Thanks

    Hello Kw4,

     

    thank you for your inquiry.

     

    In order to enable access to recording transcriptions you will need to enable this in your admin settings:

    Account Management-->Account Settings-->`Recording--> tick Audio Transcript for a seperate VTT file.

    No this does not solve the problem. I have the exact same issue as above.

    Not sure which documentation you were looking at, but the cloud recording transcription article clearly states which accounts have this ability: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004794983-Audio-transcription-for-cloud-recordings


    As Flinstone below notes, you did used to have this included.  In fact I just used your link to the description dated Oct 2022, and it says:

    "Prerequisites for using audio transcription

    Note: If you meet the prerequisites above, but do not see the option, submit a request to Zoom Support to have this feature enabled."

     

    So I will try to submit at ticket now.

    I have the same problem. I click to download all 4 files and I only get the MP4. I used to be able to just download the VTT file. I have "Save closed caption as a VTT file" enabled. Very frustrating as we use the transcripts for research purposes and trying to get them from the recording is a royal pain.
