After a meeting

While live transcription is disabled, users can still obtain a transcript of a meeting via Microsoft Stream if the meeting was recorded.

The owner of the recording can go into the “Video settings” for the meeting and generate captions under the “Transcript and captions” section. It’ll prompt them to select a language to generate captions in. Once generated, they can download the transcript as a .VTT file.
