Zoom Webinars

Closed Captioning (CC) 

Hosts may assign manual closed caption typing options to one participant during a webinar. This enables the participant to type closed captions for other webinar participants who wish to enable this feature. 

Assigning CC Permissions to a Participant

Once the participant joins the webinar, select the ... (ellipses) next to their name. Select "Assign to type Closed Caption." 

Enabling CC as a Participant

Once the webinar begins, navigate to the meeting controls. Select "Closed Caption on Zoom."
