    Hello @ARS2!

    Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

    Yes, it is possible to save meeting transcripts from Zoom calls. Here are the key ways to do this:

     

    During the Meeting

    • Live transcript viewing and saving: You can view live transcripts in the spoken language during the meeting, and these transcripts can be saved or downloaded. The live transcript is available to all invited participants (both internal and external), and you can view it from mobile clients as well. Anyone can start or stop the transcription process.

    Through Cloud Recording

    • Automatic transcript generation: When you record a meeting to the cloud, Zoom's AiSense servers can optionally transcribe the meeting and create a transcript file (.vtt format). This transcript is generated as part of the cloud recording workflow and becomes available along with other meeting artifacts like audio (.m4a) and video (.mp4) files.

    For AI Companion Feature

    • Retained transcripts for post-meeting use: To access transcripts after meetings for features like post-meeting questions or AI Companion, you must enable the "Allow meeting hosts to retain and access meeting transcripts" setting. This allows the transcript generated by AI Companion features to be retained and used by the host and meeting participants in tools like Zoom Docs and AI Companion 2.0.

    Note that hosts can manually delete retained transcripts if needed, and if you're still in a meeting, the host can turn off AI Companion and delete the transcript assets.

    To save live transcripts during a meeting, the Save Captions feature must be enabled. This feature allows participants to save manual or automated captions as a .TXT file locally on their computer. To enable or disable this feature, an account owner or admin must sign in to the Zoom web portal, navigate to Account Management, and then to Account Settings. Under the Meeting tab, find the Save Captions toggle to make the necessary changes. Additionally, there is an option to restrict which participants can save captions.
