Hi @Larry,

If you have meeting captions enabled, you can get the recording from the [Get Meeting Recording](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/cloud-recording/GET/meetings/%7BmeetingId%7D/recordings) api. Then in the response, you can use the `participant_audio_files[i].file_type.transcript` to get the individually labelled transcriptions ([source](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/api-to-access-meeting-transcript-log-information/59762/2))

Alternatively, you can use [Recall.ai](https://recall.ai). It’s a unified API that lets you send meeting bots to video conferencing platforms (like Zoom) to capture the audio and video in real-time. We handle the spinning up the servers, and piping the audio to transcription providers so all you interact with is a simple API.
