UB has several licenses available for loan that allow a host to turn on automatic, translated captions for their meetings. Enabling translated captions can help English language learners in Zoom by showing them captions in their own language based on the English spoken during a meeting.
For more details see Enable/disable translated captions on the Zoom support site.
Live captioning is enabled by default in your Zoom profile settings.
