Read what is said on a video call
See the words appear as people speak, so nothing goes past you.
Live captions write out what people say, a line or two at a time, along the bottom.
The machine does the writing as it goes. Nobody else on the call is told.
Key points
- Live captions write out what is being said, as it is said
- They are your own setting, and the call is not told
What to remember
- Captions go on and off at any point in a call.
- Captions are yours alone, and can start at any moment.
