Zoom now has an Otter.ai add-on which allows meeting hosts  to enable live transcription  for all meeting participants. This option is enabled by default on all Illinois State accounts. The current license for Otter.ai allows for 600 free minutes every calendar month. Hosts will need to start the Auto-Transcription at the beginning of each meeting where Live Transcript is used.
