Enable Allow users to retain transcripts generated with meeting summary

When AI Companion Meetings features are turned on in a meeting, an audio transcript can be generated as well.
Account admins can manage whether or not meeting transcripts can be generated with AI Companion meeting summary. When this setting is on, hosts are able to decide at the meeting level whether or not they want to retain a transcript. If retained, hosts and other meeting participants within your organization can use these transcripts with AI Companion features enabled on your account. For example, users can ask post meeting questions using the AI Companion panel, or they can generate Zoom Docs from these meeting transcripts with Docs content generation and revision with AI Companion.

An additional subsetting is available that permits meeting hosts to directly view and delete meeting transcripts generated with meeting summaries. When this setting is enabled, the transcripts are accessible by meeting hosts and can be downloaded as a VTT file from the list of available transcripts in the Recording and Transcripts tab.
