Returns the video transcript of a test session in [Web Video Text Tracks (WebVTT)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebVTT_API/Web_Video_Text_Tracks_Format) format.
    
  _Compatibility:_
  - Sessions must be found within tests with the "STUDYV2" type and belong to one of the following product types:
    - "LIVE_CONVERSATION" (non-classic live conversation)

  - Go to [How to Obtain a Test ID (UUID)](https://developer.usertesting.com/docs/how-to-obtain-a-testid-uuid) for details.

  _Best practices:_
  - If needed, you can copy and paste the string and save it as a text file with the VTT extension.
  
  _Use case examples:_
  - For an example on how to run AI analysis on transcripts with an LLM, go to [Generate Video Transcript Analysis](https://developer.usertesting.com/v2.0/docs/video-transcript-analysis).
