How you can live transcribe your Zoom meetings

It seems like everybody is having Zoom meetings these days, but the main reason for using the app is still business meetings. The problem is that you often need to take notes from meetings - but what if you could live transcribe a Zoom? 

Well now you can. 

It's thanks to transcription service Otter.ai, although to transcribe live you will need a paid-for Otter.ai account rather than the free one and you'll also need a paid-for Zoom plan (Zoom Pro is fine).

You can still transcribe after the meeting using Otter.ai's Zoom Sync feature. You don't need a paid Otter.ai plan for that, you'll just need to register. You will still need a Zoom Pro or higher account though.

You need to set this all up before the meeting.
