Overview

Zoom supports live captioning (machine generated) during meetings and webinars. When the meeting host enable this feature- when in a meeting, webinar participants speaks, captions will appear. The machine-generated transcript can be saved as a local text file. 

Everything that a lecturer says is captured, recorded and streamed to the student in real time. A full transcript can also be available to students and teachers once it is enabled.

Info
titlePoints to Remember!
  • The host needs to enable this option every meeting- it is not a default option.
  • This feature is not considered an accommodation and does not replace any specific accommodations communicated by Disability Support Services. Students or faculty who have questions about specific accommodations are encouraged to contact Disability Support Services. 
  • Hosts should still return after the meeting is processed into Panopto and edit the video captions in Panopto for context and clarity.

Limitations:

  • The Live captioning is not available in Zoom Breakout rooms.

  • Limiting background noise may result in improved accuracy.

  • The only language available as of now is English.

  • Live captioning is not available in HIPAA-compliant Zoom


Using Live Captions in a Meeting

  2. A dialogue box will appear, click on Enable Auto-Transcription


  3. At this point meeting participants can click the closed captions button to view the captions.
