In-meeting captions & pop-out

Beyond the side panel, ScribX can overlay live captions directly on your meeting — like subtitles, in your language — and you can pop them out into their own window for a second screen.

Turn captions on​

From the ScribX panel, enable in-meeting captions. Each caption shows the original line and, when translation is on, your language below it. Controls on the caption overlay:

  • Languages to show — pick which languages appear.
  • Larger / smaller text — size the captions to taste.
  • Jump to live — snap back to the current moment after scrolling.
  • Summary / Live summary — peek at the running summary.
  • Pop out — open the captions in a separate window (see below).

You can also run Live captions mode, where ScribX reads the meeting platform's own captions right in the panel — instant, nothing joins the call. Turn on the platform's CC, then start. This is the lightweight Basic Transcript path; for full accuracy + translation use ScribX AI.

Pop out to a separate window​

Click Pop out (also "Open in a separate window") to detach the captions/transcript into their own window — handy for a second monitor, or to keep captions visible while you screen-share.
