This is not a solution. It is clear to me that Teams ought to provide a possibility to save captions to a file. As a programmer I cannot see that this would be difficult to implement. What is suggested at this website as an alleged solution is very tedious. Have you ever copied and saved such captions for a 2 hour meeting? I doubt it. You get lots of overlaps and there arises immediately a need to merge all the hundreds of files you save the captions to. I wrote all those programs and can produce a merged version of the captions, but I doubt that ordinary users of Teams could ever do that.

Correct you cannot download closed captions however while the meeting is happening you can copy and paste them into a word document or one note if needed.

Indigomk this should be very useful feature. Copy & Paste are very tedious.
