Do you need to make your Zoom video accessibility? Zoom will provide automatic closed-captioning and transcription for a meeting after it has been recorded.
However, when hosting a live meet, the closed-captioning and transcription features will not be available. These two features are only available after a Zoom meeting has been recorded.
Another option for obtaining closed-captioning and transcription on your recorded video would be to use Youtube. You will need to upload the Zoom MP4 video file to your personal YouTube for closed-captions and transcription to be activated. Then, you can share the Youtube link with your students by posting it in eLearn or email it to them directly.
