Learn how to transcribe your meetings with this guide. This guide covers the auto-transcribe method, but you can also manually start transcription with the [**start transcription**](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/actions/start-transcription) action while in a call.
If you prefer a video walkthrough, check out our step-by-step tutorial below. Otherwise, keep reading for the written guide:
## Steps
### 1. Add the Daily Events Element (Optional)
Place the [**events element**](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/elements/daily-events) element on your page. It’s common to put it inside a hidden popup so it stays offscreen but can still listen for events like `transcription-started`, `transcription-stopped`, or `transcription-error`.
### 2. Enable Transcription in Your Room
Next, [create](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/actions/create-room) or [update](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/actions/update-room) a room and enable transcription. Be sure to set the `auto transcription` field to `yes`. For a full list of transcription fields, check the [documentation](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/actions/create-room#transcription).
### 3. Create a Meeting Token for the Transcription Owner
Create a [meeting token](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/actions/create-meeting-token) with the `is owner` field set to `yes` and `auto-start transcription` set to `yes`. If you want live captions, make sure to enable them too. Only meeting owners can start transcriptions in this plugin.
### 4. Join the Meeting
[**Join**](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/actions/join-room) a room . Make sure to input the room URL from [Step 2](/bubble/daily/how-tos/transcribe-a-meeting#2-enable-transcription-in-your-room) and the meeting token from [Step 3](/bubble/daily/how-tos/transcribe-a-meeting#3-create-a-meeting-token-for-the-transcription-owner).
### 5. Begin Listening for Events (Optional)
If you want to listen to transcription events, add the [**begin event listening action**](/bubble/daily/plugin-reference/elements/daily-events#element-actions) after joining the room.
