Manage notes, meeting minutes, and closed captions in Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars
If you have Webex Assistant for Meetings or automated closed captions, you cannot assign a closed captionist for manual closed captions. Additionally, if you have Webex Assistant for Meetings, the Captions & Highlights panel replaces the Closed Captions panel.
Keep the following in mind before you start managing and taking notes:
- 
          
If all participants are allowed to take notes, they can save their notes, but they can't publish them to others during the meeting or webinar.
 - 
          
A single note taker can publish notes at any time during the meeting or webinar, or they can send a transcript to all participants afterwards.
 - 
          
A closed captionist can publish captions in real time during the meeting or webinar, and they can also send a transcript containing the captions to all participants.
 - 
          
Closed captions and transcriptions are on by default for Webex for Government.
