These are steps that have to be performed by the meeting host.
Changes to your Zoom settings must be made before you begin a meeting to be active in that meeting.
This is for recorded meetings where you want a transcription to later upload as captions to YouTube / Vimeo, etc.
It will also turn on the live transcription during the meeting.
From "More / ..." in the Zoom Window, select "Stop Recording" when you want to end the recording.
This stops only the recorded video and transcription during that time. The meeting and live transcript are still active.
Zoom will convert your video and transcript files in the cloud and email you when they are ready.
From that link you can save the files for upload / editing. This and the Share Link will appear on the page for the specific meeting in your Zoom Meetings view.
Notes on Transcripts / Captions
The caption file is a VTT - if you need to edit something you can edit a VTT file in Microsoft Notepad. Make a copy first just in case. Don't mess with the timing information, only the transcription text. All auto-transcriptions can have problems with proper nouns and homophones, among other things. Whether something merits changing is your determination. Captioning AI will search for context to try to choose the correct word (e.g. "Jim" vs. "gym") and edit on this fly. Usually it gets this correct.
The captioning file text is identical to the text of the final transcript but does not include speaker information.
The VTT file can be uploaded to YouTube under the "Upload Captions" - > "With Timing" option in the video settings.
