Faculty Development Tip of the Week: Zoom Closed Captioning

In Other, by , on April 16th, 2021
 
Zoom recently added the ability to turn on live, auto-generated closed captioning when hosting a Meeting. To enable this feature, begin by signing in to your Zoom web portal (niagara-edu.zoom.us) with your PurplePass credentials and clicking on Settings from the left-hand menu. Scroll down to the In-Meeting (Advanced) section and toggle on Closed Captioning. Be sure to tick the box that says “Enable live transcription service to show transcript on the side panel in-meeting.” During your next Zoom meeting, you’ll be able to enable live transcription of your Meeting. This video shows you how to enable and use the Zoom closed captioning. For your reference, all “Tip of the Week Videos” are archived on the Faculty Development website here.
