About 6 weeks ago I released
a video about how to enable automatic captions in Zoom. At the time, that feature was just offered in the paid variations of Zoom. Because then Zoom has made 2 updates to their policy about access to live captioning..

Zoom now refers to live captioning as live transcription. Second, Zoom has said that all accounts including totally free accounts will have access to live transcription by fall of 2021 (fall in the northern hemisphere).
Zooms complete, upgraded statement about the accessibility of live transcription can be checked out here..
