Ways to generate transcripts for videos over 4GB
Hi MS Community; Streams for sharepoint won't generate transcripts for videos over 4 gigs. We're required to have transcripts for all videos for accessibility since we're a school. Is there an al...
I'm not aware of a video size limitation for creating a transcript. Did you turn off transcript creation when you created the recording? Or are you talking about a video that you have uploaded and is over 4GB? Are you looking for more than just a transcript? You mention having to create the markers, etc. . . . so am wondering if you are looking for more than a transcript - like the custom features that are available with Teams Premium that will auto-create chapters also for video recordings of meetings where PowerPoint Live is used. Or were you only referencing the time markers?
More specifics:
So this isn't a recording, it's an uploaded video to a SharePoint site that is over 4 gigs. I'm not looking for extra features, just for it to generate a transcript for the video.
I did end up coming up with a temp solution: re-save the file as low res, upload it to a dev sharepoint site, have it generate the transcript then download that transcript and apply it to the origional video.
I'm assuming this restriction is a hangover from something else? It would be cool to know if this restriction is going to be removed or if there is a setting somewhere I'm missing.
