How to download or get a copy of the closed caption during Teams Meeting

For meetings, is there any way to get a file or send the closed caption settings. That way we don't have to take notes.

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.
