Using call live transcription

If your admin allows you to use call live transcription, you can use this feature to follow your call conversations easily. When enabled, the speakers' audio is converted as a text caption, for a better understanding of what is being said. The audio from all participants is captioned with their names and a timestamp but only visible to you. During the call, you can scroll back to view captions rendered earlier in the conversation. Each time transcription is turned on or off during the call, the participants on the call will hear or see a notice that this setting has been enabled or disabled.
