Collaborative editing of transcript file

Hi there. I'm teaching a large class on zoom and thought it would be good if students took turns tidying up a transcript  of one class each, which would mean all transcripts get edited, and these student-edited transcripts displayed as the official transcripts next to the videos when people watched them. 

 

However, there seems to be no way to do this, since the only way I know to edit the officially displayed transcript is to log on as host. I have access to the .vtt files and could send them to students for editing, but I don't see any way to re-upload the .vtt files to display next to the video once edited in that format.

 

Am I missing something or is this not possible?

Resolved! lost transcriptions

I enabled live transcription for a Zoom meeting today, but ended the meeting without saving the transcription. I can't find anything in the meeting folder. Is there some way of retrieving the transcription? Fyi, I work on a Mac desktop.

I had some issues with Zoom about a week ago.  Those issues are solved....I now am having a problem with screen distortion (just my students, not me).  Also, if I start a new meeting as usual, I am sitting there waiting for them to enter the waiting room.  NOthing happens.  They get a message saying that I am on another meeting.  Not sure what to do!  Was working fine prior to last week.

My zoom desktop client stopped working today - when I try and open it I get a blank error message (see attached screenshot). I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times (just by deleting and removing the log files as I can't even open zoom to access settings)! Appreciate any help. Am running Ventura.

Add Chapters or Sections to Recording

For recordings stored in Zoom cloud, is there anyway (or workaround) to be able to link to specific portion of a recording (often referred to as chapters or sections)? As example, your recording is 30min long; something significant discussed at 00:12... Show more

For recordings stored in Zoom cloud, is there anyway (or workaround) to be able to link to specific portion of a recording (often referred to as chapters or sections)? As example, your recording is 30min long; something significant discussed at 00:12:30 (12 minutes 30 seconds) into the recording. I'd like to share a URL to that specific portion of the recording. 

 

Seems when using the scrub to navigate to that portion of the recording, the URL remains the same (the start of the recording).

 

Any way to do this? If no, any workarounds?

 

And Zoom, do you have this captured anywhere as a feature request?
