How to Turn Off Webex Transcription

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable live captions and transcription in Webex meetings.

Quick summary

To turn off Webex transcription, open your meeting controls and toggle the CC button off. Note that disabling captions for yourself does not stop the host from recording a full meeting transcript.


Steps

  1. Open your meeting controls and click the CC icon in the control bar.
  2. Toggle the CC button to turn off Webex transcription for your session.
  3. Be aware that turning off captions does not stop recording transcripts if the meeting host has enabled recording.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to turn off Webex transcription gives meeting participants direct control over their live caption experience without relying on the host. This is essential for users who want to reduce on-screen clutter or manage privacy during sensitive discussions. However, understanding the distinction between personal caption settings and host-controlled recording transcripts helps teams set accurate expectations around Webex meeting data retention and compliance.
