Prepare before the call

Set the spoken language, translation language, output device, and subtitle position before people begin speaking.

Keep the overlay useful

Move captions away from shared slides and use click-through when you need to interact with content underneath.

Set the right expectations

Overlapping voices, compressed call audio, and unusual vocabulary can reduce accuracy; captions are not an official record.
