**Description**  
For our existing Marketplace App that live streams a meeting, we would like to confirm if a meeting that uses translated captions will include the captions in the live stream feed.

>
> Zoom translated captions enable users to have the speech in a meeting or webinar automatically translated

Thought I’d bump this with a description of the use case.

1. A customer who uses our app can validate their zoom login to link their zoom account to our streaming service. They need to have “Custom Live Streaming Service” selected on their account.
2. Assume the customer creates a meeting with translated captions enabled at the Account, Group, or User level.
3. The customer starts the meeting with translated captions enabled.
4. The customer then pushes an RTMP output of the meeting to our custom live service via the `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/[meeting ID]/livestream` API end point.
5. Once the meeting starts it will be broadcast on the streaming service using limitations such as no chat moderation.

My question is will the translated captions also appear on the streaming broadcast? Or do they only work in a Zoom app?

Thanks.

Hi @HenryW  
Thanks for reaching out to us!  
You should be able to see the translated captions from zoom when live-streaming your meetings.  
Are you seeing anything different in your testing?
