Generating a transcript
- Start a meeting or webinar.
- Select the Record button and choose Record to the Cloud (See Fig. 2).

- Select the link in the email OR navigate to the Recordings & Transcripts page on the Zoom web portal and select the name of the recorded meeting.

- If you selected other files for the cloud recording, these will also be included:
- Shared screen with speaker view
- Shared screen with gallery view
- Shared screen
- Chat file
- Select the Audio Only file, or one of the recording views if available.
