Turn on automated closed captions to make your meetings and webinars more accessible. As people speak, what they say appears above the meeting or webinar controls.
On 41.7 and later sites, you can turn on automated closed captions without turning on Webex Assistant for Meetings. Automated closed captions are available for Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars (not available for webinars in webcast view). If your site doesn't support automated closed captions without Webex Assistant, the host needs to turn on Webex Assistant to turn on automated closed captions. Webex Assistant is not available for Webex for Government.
Starting 42.3 and later sites, closed captions will now include the speaker's name at the front.
Webex remembers if you used automated captions in your previous meeting or webinar and automatically turns them on for your next one.
Linux supports automated closed captions in Webex App.
If offensive words are used, asterisks replace some letters in the offensive word. We created our own profanity filter generated from common offensive words and phrases. We’ll continue to add words and phrases as and when they're identified to us.

If the meeting was recorded, then the recording video's embedded transcript will show the transcription for the portions of the meeting in English only. If Webex Assistant was also available (either on or off) in the recorded meeting, then the Review tab under Calendar will show the transcription in the selected spoken language. Currently, neither transcript will show the caption (translation) language.
Turning on closed captions without turning on Webex Assistant for Meetings is available on a delayed release cycle. If this feature is not available on your site, meeting or webinar, then you must turn on Webex Assistant to access closed captions.
