Google Workspace Admin Help, 2026

What it is: Google's administrator help page for the setting that lets Google Meet users transcribe meetings. It lists the Workspace editions that support transcripts, where transcripts are saved, and how an admin changes the setting.
How much weight it carries: Official Google page for Workspace administrators. It covers Workspace editions only, not personal Google accounts. Google's end-user help page could not be opened on the date checked, so this page is the source for Meet's plan rules.
