does meeting transcription work on virtual desktop?
We have a user who reported they no longer have the option to start meeting transcription on their VMWare virtual desktop (Teams optimized for VMWare). I am able to reproduce this on my VD. Admitte...
ChristianJBergstrom Thanks for the response. I'm referring to transcription, not live captions. Live captions is working in our virtual environment. The option to transcribe the meeting does not exist like it does on our physical devices.
Virtual:
Physical:
Now you're making me confused, how can you have live captions in VDI already? In TAP? What I meant is that live captions was added some time before transcriptions (non-VDI) so from that point of view it makes sense if it's not available in VDI right now.
- Good question. This account is not in TAP.
I noticed I was on a pretty old version of Teams, so I updated - and now the captions option is gone. All that is left is recording. So as it stands, on the latest version of Teams, we can do recording + transcription + live captions on physical, but only recording on virtual.
You're right, this is confusing, and lack of documentation doesn't help our cause.- On the other hand it now seems as it working as it should for the time being though 😉
- Right - Do you happen to have a link stating that transcription shouldn't work in a virtual environment?
