Using closed captioning in breakout rooms
JMU’s Zoom license now includes automatic live transcription in meetings. If you want a participant to type closed captions, make sure you assign them permission to type closed caption before starting the breakout room sessions:
- Note: You can only assign one participant to type closed captions, meaning only one breakout room will have closed captions after you start the breakout room sessions.
After you start breakout room sessions, participants can click Closed Caption in the meeting controls to view closed captions.
