To find where your Zoom transcripts are stored, you should know that it mainly depends on whether you are using live transcripts or audio transcripts in cloud recording in Zoom or a third-party tool like EaseUS RecExperts to transcribe Zoom meetings or recordings.
🟡Using a third-party tool like EaseUS RecExperts
If you are screen recording or transcribing Zoom meetings with this Zoom recording software, you can find and edit transcripts via the software's default storage location, usually C:\Users\\Documents\Zoom. The transcript is generally saved in a .txt format and stored in the same folder as your local recording. Moreover, when using its AI assistant function, you can click the file icon after the save path option to change the save location.
It's worth noting that Zoom's built-in recording feature only allows recording by the host or participants with the host's permission. However, if you need to record a Zoom meeting without permission or without notifying other participants, record the current speaker view, or even want to add annotations to the video during the recording process, EaseUS screen recording software is a better choice.
🟡Using Zoom's built-in transcript function:
If you have enabled the transcription function in Zoom meetings, you will find that Zoom provides two options for storing your transcripts: cloud storage and local device storage. Let's take a look at where are Zoom transcripts stored in detail:
1️⃣Cloud Storage:
Zoom will store your meeting transcripts on its cloud servers, ensuring that the transcripts can be accessed and viewed on multiple devices. Log into your Zoom account and go to the 'Recordings' section. You'll find your cloud recordings with their respective transcripts. Meanwhile, Participants will also be notified via email with a link to access and download the transcript directly.
2️⃣Local device storage:
Your Zoom transcripts can also be saved on your local device's hard drive. Transcripts are stored in .vtt format in the same folder as the local recordings on your computer.
- On Windows: C:\Users\\Documents\Zoom.
- On macOS: /Users//Documents/Zoom.
Remember to comply with relevant laws and regulations and Zoom's terms of use when using third-party recording tools.
