How long does the automatic transcript take to generate?

Copper Contributor

Hello Streaming Community - I was wondering how does it take the auto generated transcript to load after you publish a video.  The videos I have been uploading for work are only 2 to 3 minutes long but the transcripts are not automatically generating even after 2 or 3 hours after published.  

 

We have team members who rely on the transcripts and I want to give them a time frame of when to go in and check out the video after I publish it.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Sara,

 

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing.   Have you gone through the steps to open the video in "Stream".   Then "Update Video Details"...   You MUST set a language in order for the...

 

I just did a small 8 minute video and the captions took a few minutes (less than 15 mins for sure.)

 

Do you want to try working on it together ?

 

Thanks

 

Here is a link.... it says that the time to generate the caption should be 1-2 X the length of the video that is being captioned. So a 5 minute recorded meeting should take about 10 minutes to caption.

I just realized that I couldn't caption my videos because I wasn't setting a language. (Oops). It seems to work now.
