Hi folks,

1. How soon after the completion of a meeting (30-60 min session) can we expect the transcript be available for access via the Zoom API? Is there a SLA/time guarantee? Ideally, we need it available with a few minutes after the meeting ends.
2. If transcript generation takes longer, does Zoom offers an API to get captions instead immediately after the meeting, without a delay?

Thanks

It depends on a number of factors like network processing. We cannot offer a concrete time.

There is the [live transcription](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0058324) feature and you can develop [a meeting bot.](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/guides/meeting-bots-sdk-media-streams/). Take a look at our blog for more guidance on meeting bots: [Zoom Developer Blog](https://developers.zoom.us/blog/?category=meeting-bots)

Additionally, there are a few apps on the Zoom App Marketplace you can install on your account that may be a good fit for capturing live transcription easily without development on your end.

Thanks @gianni.zoom . Is there an API/webhook we can use to get the live transcription of a meeting?
