How to Transcribe Meetings Automatically (Zoom, Teams & Google Meet)

Published 2025-07-07

Why Automatic Meeting Transcription Is Essential in 2025

With remote work now standard across many industries, meetings on Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet generate countless hours of spoken content each week.

But there’s a problem:

• Important details get lost
• Manual note-taking is slow and inaccurate
• Built-in transcription tools are inconsistent
• Many companies need official records or meeting minutes

That’s why more teams rely on AI-powered meeting transcription tools like Crystal Clear Conversions (CCC) — to create fast, accurate transcripts automatically.

Supported Meeting Platforms

CCC works perfectly with recordings from:

• Zoom (MP4 or M4A files)
• Microsoft Teams (MP4 recordings or audio-only files)
• Google Meet (MP4 recordings)
• Webex meetings
• Slack huddles
• Any other platform that supports recording

All you need is the meeting recording — CCC handles the rest.

How to Automatically Transcribe a Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet Recording

Step 1 — Download the Meeting Recording

Depending on the platform:

• Zoom: From “Recordings” → Download MP4
• Teams: Download from OneDrive or SharePoint
• Google Meet: Download from Drive → Meet Recordings folder

Most meetings save as MP4, M4A, or other standard formats.

Step 2 — Upload the Recording to CCC

Drag and drop the file or upload directly from your computer. CCC supports:

• MP4
• WAV
• MP3
• M4A
• MOV
• MKV

Step 3 — Choose “Transcribe” or “Transcribe & Translate”

CCC will detect the spoken language and generate a transcript automatically. It can also produce:

• Translated transcripts in 14+ languages
• Subtitles (SRT)
• Formatted text documents

Step 4 — Let the AI Process the Meeting

The system uses speaker-aware modeling to detect multiple voices.

Step 5 — Download Your Transcript

You can export your meeting as:

• TXT — simple text
• DOCX — editable meeting notes
• PDF — shareable record
• SRT — subtitle file
