How to add subtitles to zoom recording
- 1
Download your Zoom recording from the cloud or your local drive
Zoom saves cloud recordings to your account under Recordings in the web portal - open the meeting, click the download icon next to the MP4 file, and save it to your computer. If you recorded locally, find the MP4 in the Zoom folder in your Documents directory. Once you have the file, drag it onto the CentClip upload area or click to browse - your first 5 minutes are free with no account needed.

Review and correct the auto-generated subtitles
CentClip transcribes your Zoom audio and displays every subtitle line in a side-by-side editor alongside the video. Click any segment to fix a name, correct an industry term, or nudge the timing. Zoom recordings often capture presenters speaking quickly or using product-specific vocabulary, so a quick pass through the editor ensures the subtitles are accurate before you export.

Export your subtitled video or subtitle file
Choose to burn subtitles directly into the video as an MP4 - ideal for sharing a self-contained recording that plays with subtitles on any device or platform. Or download an SRT or VTT file to attach as an external subtitle track, or grab a plain text transcript for documentation. You pay only for the minutes processed, with no subscription required.
Why choose CentClip for Zoom?
Zoom recordings shared after a webinar or training are watched at 1.5x speed - subtitles keep viewers on track
People who catch a recorded Zoom session after the fact tend to scrub, skip, and speed up. Without subtitles, they miss context and misread tone. Burned-in subtitles anchor the viewer to what is actually being said even at higher playback speeds, and CentClip produces tightly timed blocks that hold up through the fast delivery of a live training or webinar. One 60-minute recording costs $3 to subtitle - far less than re-recording or summarizing by hand.
Zoom's built-in transcript is locked inside the platform - CentClip gives you a file you can use anywhere
Zoom's auto-generated captions only appear inside the Zoom player and are tied to your account. If you share the MP4 externally - to a client, a learning platform, or a public page - those captions disappear. CentClip produces an MP4 with subtitles burned in, plus portable SRT and VTT files that work in any video player, LMS, or social platform. The output is yours to use however you need it.
No subscription makes sense when Zoom recordings arrive in batches, not on a schedule
A team might record nothing for six weeks, then suddenly have four all-hands sessions and a product demo to subtitle in one sprint. A $20/month subscription bills you whether you use it or not. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with credits that never expire - subtitle a 90-minute training for $4.50, pause for two months, then come back without losing what you paid for. It is the right pricing model for work that happens in bursts.
FAQ
How accurate are CentClip subtitles for Zoom recordings with multiple participants?
Accuracy is high for recordings with clear audio and a primary speaker. Meetings with heavy crosstalk or strong accents may need a few corrections, and the built-in subtitle editor makes those fixes fast and straightforward.
Is there a free trial for adding subtitles to a Zoom recording?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card required. After that, subtitles cost 5 cents per minute with no subscription and no minimum purchase.
What file format does Zoom export, and does CentClip support it?
Zoom exports recordings as MP4 files from both cloud and local storage. CentClip accepts MP4 directly, so you can upload the file without any conversion step.
Do CentClip credits expire if I only occasionally subtitle Zoom recordings?
No - CentClip credits never expire. Buy them when you have a recording to process and use them at any pace, with no monthly billing cycle and no subscription to cancel.
