Account owners and admins can enable or disable the profanity filter feature that prevents Zoom's automated captions from displaying inappropriate words. They can import widely available 3rd party lists, eliminating the need to manually curate offensive words, and enabling easy customization according to their organization's needs. The filter applies to all Zoom products utilizing Zoom's transcription services, including automated captions in meetings and webinars, Meeting Summary with AI Companion, and recording transcripts.

Prerequisites for enabling or disabling the profanity filter

• Account owner or admin privileges
