How to use closed captions, transcripts and subtitles in Zoom meeting.

[@arnetdar]

Thank you for your tutorial. we were challenged with this problem and needed it to be addressed immediately - you saved the day!

[@thebravegirlproject7488]

Thanks so much for sharing this! Realizing I need to make my videos more accessible for everyone!

[@brianharrington2349]

Thank you, it took a couple try’s but I was able to get it going!

[@PatriciaRegier]

Wonderful. Glad to hear it worked. Thank you.

[@jontrewfrombarry]

Can you have the transcription turned on for the host but off for everyone else?

[@PatriciaRegier]

Currently it's turned on for everyone or no one. However, if no one else activates it for themselves, because they don't need it, then only the host may know about it.

[@PhilipCrozet888]

Hi ... thank you for your tutorial. This is regarding ensuring that 'Live Transcipt' appears in the options bar once you are there in Zoom. You advised setting this up in the profile settings in your account itself. I looked for a long time but I couldn't find anything. Could you give me some specific directions for this? I would really appreciate it.

[@nelidagarcia7412]

I really would like to see this work with Spanish and English. Zoom just launched Live Transcription in Foreign languages but unfortunately you need Businss Plus or Enterprise Plus. Wish that were nto the case. I hop[e you get to demo the foreign language closed caption feature.

[@gahabispikir]

Hi, Patricia Good Video btw, I have a question Currently Is it possible to enable live transcription if im as participant or not as host? Like in Google Meet i can enable by myself? without requesting to host?

[@nhatminhnguyen5872]

much appreciated your guide, it is so useful to me, sometimes I need to enable the caption to understand the meaning full sentence.

[@widyawurinugrahedi4648]

Thank you for this! I've activated CC and Live Transcription on my profile as per your video but no CC/Live Transcription button appear in my Zoom dekstop?

Lifesaver! thank you for this video!

Can a participant chose a different language cc?

[@Vjkyel]

If I enable it does it notify the host and other participants?

[@libraryliteracy3762]

Hello, can subtitles be added after a recording? I don't see the closed caption option or transcription option in my recordings.

[@PatriciaRegier]

Great question! I don't think so currently, but perhaps in the future. You can use options such as Otter.ai.

[@brianweston3652]

Wow- very useful. Is it possible to set transcription to just create cc for one speaker? My partner is hard of hearing and needs the CC to know what other speakers are saying but doesn't need to see his own voice in the subtitles. Make sense?

[@brianweston3652]

@@PatriciaRegier Thanks a bunch - I can see this will be a gamechanger for us!

[@rosariocarmonayost]

Hello! thank you very much for your video! I was able to enable the function, however, when I click on it it asks me who is going to write? The subtitles are not done automatically. should I have a captioning app?

[@rosariocarmonayost]

@@PatriciaRegier thank you!!

[@parvizdeamer]

Very helpful, thanks so much!

[@sandhyaatram]

it is very helpful for me thank you so much and can use only this transcript from a paid account?

[@rolandpalencia]

Hard to see when you click cc as it is blocked by the captions feature itself.

[@PatriciaRegier]

@rolandpalencia Good point! Maybe I will create another video that considers the captions' placement. Thank you for your comment.

[@BradfordUNESCOCityofFilmUK]

Its a great video - thanks -do captions still appear when sharing screen? I can't seem to get this to work

[@PatriciaRegier]

When screen sharing, yes the Closed Captions should still work for everyone else.

[@phoebesinclair8440]

Exactly what I needed to learn. Thanks!

[@jeherulislam6903]

Funnily, why does host have to control captioning facility. It's just make it unusable by needy guests. I requested the host during meeting and he didn't even reply nor enable it. I am deaf and learnt nothing from the meeting class. In Google meet I can enable it myself

[@jeherulislam6903]

@@PatriciaRegier thank you so much. I will share it with my friends and contacts

[@TammyBlanchette]

I came here to say the same thing. I am not deaf but I like to have the closed captioning on. I was used to having it in Google Meet and can't understand why the host has to control that feature. Why make users feel uncomfortable about asking for it? I tried to ask this question through Zoom but am not offered the opportunity.

[@prismak7607]

On MS Team you can simply activate live captions on the meeting on the device without any other knowing you are doing it. You can even do a presentation on one device while you see the live captions on another device connected to the same meeting. I am not talking of transcripts which I am not interested, but live captions. It's an absolute lifesaver for me (non-native English speaker with hearing loss and tinnitus). I can't understand why on Zoom can't be that simple (if you are host or client and you enable bla bla... What the hell is that? I just want to click start live captions and see live captions like in Team). Last time I checked zoom needed a third party integration, at least is there now a built-in live caption? Literally I am not changing job if the new company is using Zoom (which I see immediately in the interview).

[@PatriciaRegier]

This is now an option on Zoom. I am glad it's a new update that people don't have to request CC anymore. However, everyone should still check that all their Zoom settings are up to date.

[@TammyBlanchette]

@@PatriciaRegier I agree with prismark whole heartedly! I am using Zoom now. I have all my settings for CC and it still is not working.

[@PatriciaRegier]

@@TammyBlanchette Is it not working for you in Zoom? And you have activated everything? If that is the case I will share a video about how to ask Zoom for help.

[@PatriciaRegier]

@@TammyBlanchette kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIGTioydj7yArqssi=otI-J-LLFrYNXPkE You can ask Zoom for help to sort it out. Are you on a paid plan or free plan?

[@reneerasile8059]

Is there a way to turn someone's video off without him Knowing I turned it off

[@reneerasile8059]

Cause one boy always joins the meeting from when he is shopping in dollar tree and it is distracting

[@PatriciaRegier]

You can turn it off, but he/they may/could notice. You can send a message to the person (privately): "Happy you are joining us, in consideration of others who could be distracted by movement on video, I am turning your camera off for now. We can turn on your camera when you are stationary." ....something like that.

I have the same issue as well. Live transcription is only available within a paid subscription for now until fall which will be available for everyone. No specific date yet but I hope pretty soon! However if needed, you can request it using the form here I found through the Zoom website. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSccQQ2W-K8naaltkBIbuv6BfJvisy0NZS2qWIKd0gSMUWGGpQ/viewform

[@PatriciaRegier]

Were you able to sort this out? Perhaps after the updates, you could now activate it and see it in the your next meeting.

[@amyspears4054]

Closed captions are an accessibility issue and should not be optional for the host. Zoom needs to make the change. I had two meetings today and the host didn't have it turned on. I asked about it in chat and was just disregarded by the host.

[@amyspears4054]

@@PatriciaRegier no I was disregarded by the host. So I left the meetings.

[@claudiaceciligutierrezpadi6319]

[@GaryMorin]

What you should note is that auto captioning can be incredibly inaccurate and unreliable. don't assume that it's good enough for your participants. if you want your audience to learn what you're talking about and teaching, perhaps you should use professionally generated captioning. ASSuming that auto-captioning is good enough is not good enough.

[@PatriciaRegier]

Thank you Gary. I will make sure that is noted in my blog and the description, I'd it isn't already. You are right that CC is not always perfect. I do think it is important that people take steps to activate CC instead of doing nothing. There is always room to continue to improve. Thank you for your comment.
