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.

    Hello LTRPBA,

     

    Thank you for your response.

     

    In addition to my post on how to access and enable audio transcript for cloud recordings. There is a prerequisite to enable audio transcription which requires a Zoom Business, Education or Enterprise account - https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004794983-Audio-transcription-for-cloud-recordings. Please let me know if your Zoom account falls into one of theses categories and I will raise a support ticket to assist further.

    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.
