Adding Transcriptions to Your Video in Google Drive

While Zoom can output transcription files, they are not automatically "burned" into the video files that you would download and re-host in Google Drive. To apply transcription files to videos that are hosted in Google Drive, follow these quick and easy steps below.

 
  1. On your computer, sign in to drive.google.com
  2. Click the video you want to add captions to.
  3. Click the three-dot menu and then Manage caption tracks.
