I should also figure out how to add zoom closed captions to our youtube vids. Won’t be hard. Zoom saves a CC file. “Just” need to figure it out, do it next time, document, and take the time to do it each time in future.

• From Zoom “if you download the recording, the audio transcription will not show or will not include in your downloaded recording.”
• We get a .vtt file that contains the transcript. I think I can use this when we add videos to YouTube (will try next time), but not for cohort call recordings that live in GDrive, unless we take an extra step using external software.

When you turn on closed captions for a video in Openscapes YouTube, captions are automatically generated and they appear highly accurate.
