Updated script available at https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/?p=6854<\/a><\/p>\n

While Microsoft does not provide a way to export the transcript from Stream videos (thus recorded Teams meetings), it is possible to get something a nicer than the select\/copy\/paste from the transcript box. Click the video settings and select \u201cShow transcript\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Display the browser developer tools \u2013 In Firefox, select the \u201cWeb Developer\u201d sub-menu from the browser menu and select \u201cWeb Console\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This console is often used for displaying errors in a website, but it can also be used to send commands to the browser. There\u2019s a \u201c>>\u201d prompt \u2013 click next to it and you\u2019ll have a flashing cursor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paste this into the console:<\/p>\n

window.angular.element(window.document.querySelectorAll('.transcript-list')).scope().$ctrl.transcriptLines.map((t) => { return t.eventData.text; })<\/pre>\n
\u2026 and hit enter. Another line will appear below what you\u2019ve entered. Right-click on that new entry and select \u201cCopy Object\u201d. Now paste into a text editor or Microsoft Word.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The output could use a little cleanup. You\u2019ll see \u201c\\r\\n\u201d anywhere there\u2019s a newline. This<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Becomes \u201ca new tip to make things quicker. So\\r\\nshare your knowledge\u201d \u2026 you could replace \u201c\\r\\n\u201d with a space (I find the newlines to be superfluous) or use a regex replacement to replace \u201c\\\\r\\\\n\u201d (literal string, the backslash escapes the backslash to retain it) with \u201c\\n\u201d (an actual newline)<\/p>\n
Each time-stamped bit of the transcript is in a separate set of quotes \u2013 I\u2019ve got a quick replacement that takes<\/p>\n
\",\\n \"<\/pre>\n
And replaces it with a newline \u2026 so<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Becomes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Depending on the target audience \u2026 for me, that\u2019s where I stop. To send the transcript to someone else, I manually clean up the spaces and quote before the first line and the quote-comma on the last line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
