Closed Captioning
Closed caption allows the host, another meeting attendee assigned by the host, or an integrated third-party closed captioning service (Zoom Help Center link) to add closed captioning in a meeting. In a webinar, closed captioning can be typed by the host, co-host, a panelist assigned by the host, or an integrated third-party closed captioning service. Closed captioning can also be viewed while in Zoom Rooms.
Live Transcription
If you are unable to provide captioning, Zoom also provides AI-powered live transcription for all paid accounts. This can be enabled by the host, and any participants can view the captioning as needed. Live transcription only supports English and it is recommended that you speak clearly for best results.

Making Cloud Recordings Publicly Viewable
Follow these steps to make all cloud recording links publicly accessible
- Login to your UTexas Zoom account with your web browser at utexas.zoom.us. In the Settings tab under Recording, scroll down and ensure that ‘Allow cloud recording sharing’ is selected
- Scroll down again and deselect (if it is selected) ‘Require users to authenticate…’
These settings will allow anyone who obtains the link for any recordings made from the host account viewable. This is not recommended for all circumstances but can allow for access to remote students or UT affiliates.
