New feature: Enable live transcription for Zoom meetings
This message is shared on behalf of Wake Forest University Information Systems.
Live transcription (real-time subtitle/captioning) is now available within Zoom meetings for Wake Forest University accounts. This feature allows attendees to enable on-screen machine-generated subtitles/captions and an associated transcript during the meeting. This feature is not currently available when using breakout rooms or Zoom Webinar.
To start using this feature, visit zoom.wfu.edu, sign in with your WFU credentials, navigate to the “Settings,” and scroll down to “In Meeting (Advanced).” Make sure “Closed Captioning” is enabled, check the option under it titled “Enable live transcription service to show transcript on the side panel in-meeting,” and then click “Save.”
To utilize this feature after it is enabled, make sure you have updated your Zoom client to version 5.5.0. You will see a new “Live Transcript” button in your host toolbar during meetings. Hosts must select “Enable Auto-Transcription” in a meeting to make the transcription available to attendees, and attendees must click “Live Transcript” to access the transcript or subtitles.
