Process
You can turn on live captions during a teams meeting by selecting Start live captions. However, it will not save a copy of transcript. If you want to save a copy of transcript, under more actions click on Start Transcription.
Teams recordings are automatically saved in Microsoft OneDrive or Microsoft Stream. You can either download transcription as .vtt file or word document. However, you cannot edit transcript in OneDrive. An alternative, you can also upload the video to Microsoft Stream. A transcription for the meeting is automatically created and added to the recording at the end of the meeting. As with any automatic transcription, it is not 100% accurate. You will need to access the video in Microsoft Stream and review/edit the transcription for accuracy.
