A session can have its transcript redacted. Names, dates, places, contact details, and other identifiers are replaced with placeholders for everyone reviewing it, AI feedback included. The person who recorded the session, the owner, can still see the originals.
Redaction is not full de-identification. Automatic detection can miss nicknames, unusual names, and mumbled speech. The audio and video still contain everything that was said, so names are still audible.

​
Turn it on

New sessions start from the program default. Scheduling a meeting for someone else uses the host’s program default.
Pre-join screen with Transcribe this session and Hide identifying details both enabled.

Enable Hide identifying details before joining the session.

​
What reviewers see

  • Identifiers become consistent placeholders, such as [NAME_1]. The same name always gets the same placeholder.
  • Speakers appear as Counselor or Speaker 2, not real names.
  • Medical terms such as medications, doses, and conditions stay visible.
  • Lines that were never scanned show [Not yet redacted] and their text stays hidden.
This applies to graders, peers, admins, and faculty, and to AI feedback.

​
What the owner can do

  • Turn on Show identifying details to see the original text. Each time you do, it’s recorded in the audit log.
  • Hide a phrase the detector missed, everywhere it appears.
  • Restore something that was hidden by mistake.
If you re-transcribe the recording, the lines are replaced and your corrections are lost.

​
Things to know

  • Only the owner can rename speakers on a redacted session.
  • If you turn redaction on for a session that already has a live transcript, its lines show [Not yet redacted] until you re-transcribe from the recording.
  • Redaction doesn’t cover text people type, such as comments.
