Summary

How to enable live captions and transcriptions for Zoom meetings.

Zoom provides AI-powered live captions and transcription. The live captions appear on the bottom of the screen, displaying what is being said in real-time. The live transcription can be enabled and opens on the right side of the meeting window. You can save the transcription for later use if the meeting is not being recorded.

These features can be enabled by the host for participants to view. Live transcription supports English language only. Speak clearly for the best results. These features are available on Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android version 5.0.2 and higher.
