How to transcribe Livestorm Webinar

For those who have explored the worlds of web and video conferencing, you must have come across Livestorm. Livestorm is a web-based platform where people can stream videos, share screens, and host webinars among other things. ‘Web-based’ means that Livestorm is designed for use on a browser and so there is no app installation that is needed. If you host a webinar, Livestorm usually saves the video and at the end, you have an option to download it.

Transcription is getting textual information from a video or an audio file. After hosting your webinar, you may need to transcribe it for this or that reason. Instead of sourcing for transcription experts who may charge you a million bucks for your few-minute webinar, you can do it yourself. This article will guide you on how to transcribe your Livestorm webinar.
