How to Use the Zoom Transcription Feature

Einstein enabled the transcription feature in Zoom. This allows you to take notes during a call as well as enable an automated transcription feature wherein Zoom will do the transcription automatically.

To enable transcription in your settings:

1. From a Zoom meeting, from the controls menu on the bottom of the screen, select the ellipsis that is labeled More; context menu will appear.

2. Select Live Transcript. Options for live transcription will appear.

Options include:

• To assign someone to type: Choose Assign a participant to type or I will type.
• To have another application do the transcription: Choose Use a 3rd-party CC service and copy the token to use in that service.
• To have Zoom do the live transcript: Choose Enable Auto-Transcription. Notice that you can also opt to have participants start it.

3. Select the option you desire. If you use Enable Auto-Transcription, the transcription will show and appear as a subtitle.
4. To stop the transcript, select Disable Auto-Transcription.

After you stop the transcription, you can see it on the side panel and save it.

During the live transcription, other options will appear in the More menu.
