Unable to edit transcript
I've run into an issue where I can't seem the edit the auto-generated transcript on a recent upload. I've checked other videos to see if I can edit their transcripts, but can't with these ones either.
It allows me to re-write the captions, but won't allow me to replay or tick the caption. When I go to the next caption, it doesn't save what I edited and reverts back to the auto-generation.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi, SamPayne
You may want to use this other option instead to modify Caption files. I would suggest renaming the auto-generated file and creating a backup of the modified .vtt file.

I'm seeing the same issue, SamPayne
I have the same issue via Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
When you hover over the green checkmark, the cursor changes to the red 'not' symbol.
Just an update...
Even though the cursor shows the 'not' symbol, it appears if I click 2-3 times, it will accept the changes I've made in the transcript line.
As Workaround you can click on the right out of the transcript edit box and it will validates your edit.
Thank you for logging this issue with saving MS Stream video transcript changes... its driving me nuts.
Green check is not clickable for me right now. Looks like a BUG.
Same issue here, was working fine for me a couple of weeks ago.
- We are also experiencing this issue. Seems to only just have happened as I was able to edit the transcript last week.
Hi SamPayne
A few quick questions -
1.) Are you the owner of the video? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/portal-edit-transcripts)
2.) Have you tried downloading the captions file, amending it, and then re-uploading it per this article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Edit-the-transcript-of-a-meeting-recording-in-Teams-2f461386-e39a-4444-b9e2-5787da1da11b
Let me know how it goes!
Best, Chris
This just started for me as well. Hoping someone has a solution :)
