Known limitations:

1. All meeting conversations should happen only in one language.

2. Translation quality will be significantly affected if people speak in a language other than what is selected by the host as the default language for the meeting.

3. There is an inherent delay between when a speaker completes a sentence and the sentence being correctly translated into another language.

4. Transcripts are only accessible to the host and in the default language the meeting is hosted in.
