How do I enable automated captions in Zoom meetings/webinars?

Resolution

The documentation includes details on:

  • Enabling automated captions
    • As a host at the account level and during a meeting/webinar
      • Note: If you, as the host, have automated captions turned off at the account level, you cannot enable them within a specific meeting/webinar. You will need to enable them at the account level first.
    • As a participant/attendee during a meeting/webinar
  • Participant/attendee's ability to view and/or save full transcripts
  • Automatically show captions when available via your Zoom desktop app
