A few weeks ago I published an article in which I mentioned that Zoom didn’t have a native transcription or captioning feature. Within minutes of hitting publish on that article, people emailed me to point out that I was wrong. I’m thankful for that because it opened my eyes to a feature that I was overlooking because it’s buried in the settings of my Zoom account. That’s an example of how tools like Zoom are constantly evolving. 

Another feature of Zoom that I recently started using, and discovered quite by accident, is filters and frames. These let you place fun borders around yourself during your Zoom meetings. These can also be used to virtually place things like party hats on your head. 

In this short video I demonstrate how to enable captions, frames, and filters in Zoom meetings.
