I am using https://webcaptioner.com/ to create free live captions for my live streams (Facebook Live, YouTube Live etc) and for use on Zoom. So if you want to make your virtual events, workshops and meetings more inclusive then follow the steps in this tutorial.

It's much simpler than you might think to add closed captions to your Zoom meeting or livestream by using Ecamm Live: https://www.ecamm.com/mac/ecammlive/?... (Affiliate Link).

IMPORTANT!:

In the meantime, look up this video here:
