Turning on & changing Translated Closed Captions on Zoom with an Android 

PLEASE NOTE: At the account (or user) level, Closed captioning must be enabled in the Zoom account settings first. If it’s turned off at the account level, no one will be able to turn it on in a meeting.

When you enter a convention meeting on your Android phone and want to see closed captions, please follow these steps… 

TURNING ON CLOSED CAPTIONING

1.  LOOK AT BOTTOM TASK BAR ON PHONE 

 When in a Zoom Meeting, tap your screen

If done properly, the words under the “CC” icon will change to “Hide CC”  

As soon as anyone talks, you will see whatever is being said in English (default language of Zoom).

PLEASE NOTE: If at any time you wish to turn off closed captions, Just hit the “CC” icon with “Hide caption“. You can always click the “CC” icon with “Show captions” again and it will appear.

Now proceed to the next section to change translation to your own language…

TURNING ON CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR TRANSLATION

You learned how to turn on (or off) closed captioning above. Now you will learn how to change the closed captioning to your own language so that when you hear a speaker who doesn’t speak your language, you will be able to read what they are saying in your own language.

1. Click the 3 dots with the word  “More” underneath.

If you look at your “Caption settings”, “My speaking language” is now the same as  “My caption language”.  

Your “Translation” button is now green and is now on. You are ready to listen to any other language and have the Closed Captions translate every word the speaker says and not miss a bit of Experience Strength & Hope.

I hope this tutorial has helped.
