Google has announced new searchable transcripts for videos you store in Google Drive. The feature is rolling out to all Google Workspace users, starting today and finishing by March 26th.The transcripts look a lot like those youd see on YouTube. If one is available, itll appear in a sidebar next to the video as blocks of timestamped text, with each block highlighted as its spoken in the video youre watching. The search bar for the transcript sits at the top of this sidebar, and clicking on specific text blocks will take you to that moment in the video. You can see the transcripts by clicking the settings icon at the bottom of the video and then choosing Transcript. The transcript option is only available if the video already has captions, as indicated by the CC button that shows up in the controls along the bottom of the Google Drive video player. If a video doesnt have captions, you can create them by right-clicking a video file in Drive, choosing Manage caption tracks, and then generate automatic captions.
