Zoom also supports manual captioning as well as integration with third-party captioning services. High-quality video and audio support for up to 300 participants for students and 500 participants for faculty and staff. Participants can still privately request that the meeting host enable live transcription during the session using the meeting toolbar. If you are a single user within a multi-account, please work with your account admin to enable this functionality via the web portal for all users. Instructions on how to do this can be found in our support article. To get started, enable the feature via the Zoom web portal. How to enable auto-generated captionsĪuto-generated captions automatically provide speaker subtitles on a Zoom video meeting or webinar.

If you have a dual screen setup, the second screen will be blank. That’s why we are focused on building out a platform that is accessible to everyone, and features such as auto-generated captions are an important part of that mission. Note that the limitation of the Third Party Join is that it is for single displays only. Without the proper accessibility tools, people with disabilities face tremendous barriers when using video communication solutions. It’s important to us that everyone can successfully connect, communicate, and participate using Zoom. Pro account users can host unlimited meetings.

This feature, which provides automatic captioning during a Zoom video call, is also available for paid Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars accounts. Each iSchool student and faculty member has their own Pro Zoom account. We are pleased to announce that auto-generated captions (also known as live transcription) are now available on all free Zoom Meetings accounts.
