Stream transcription and people
First questions does the 'people' tab in a stream video only work for a recorded meeting when the attendees are using their video? seems like it knows when people are speaking so why wouldn't it just when its an audio meeting with a screen share?
Second, why is Microsoft's transcription SO BAD ?!?! its bad for skype voicemail too.
I've used cisco, Vonage, and googles transcription and they are all way better. Does MS realize how bad it is and what are they doing to fix it?

Hi Jason,
The People tab shows the faces detected of video participants when they are in the video frame, ie. they have to be visible in the video.
Totally hearing the feedback on transcription quality, I have experienced it first hand as well. We are definitely working to improve it.
Thanks,
Asmita
Transcription within Stream is supposed to take 2x the length of time of the actual recorded time but I added the language information more than an hour ago and still no transcription. Will I get a notification/email once its done ? How would I know if there is an issue with the transcription ? From my view, all is good, I see the transcription window option but its taking more time to transcribe than I expected and currently still no transcription.
18 hours later and still no transcription.
I believe transcription should work for any kind of video...but adding here Marc Mroz so he can also get the feedback about transcript quality
