Timestamps allow viewers to easily follow and navigate the recording, and the text can be edited to improve accuracy.

2. In the left-hand navigation menu, click Settings to access your account settings.
3. From the top navigation menu, select the Recording tab to view all recording-related options.
4. Scroll down to the section labeled Advanced cloud recording settings and check the box in front of create audio transcript.This setting allows Zoom to automatically generate a transcript for any meeting that is recorded to the cloud.
