HOW TO get a transcript of YouTube captions

The YouTube video transcript is a great feature to use if you have to take notes while watching or if you're interested in just the content. 

This feature works on the YouTube website on a desktop browser while viewing videos for which captions are available. 

Click the horizontal three dot menu beneath the YouTube video. In the menu that opens up, click "Show Transcript". 

The transcript will appear next to the video.

I like that I was also able to search for a keyword using the browser's Find (Ctrl+F) functionality and jump to that specific point in the video.
