No audio from Teams, Meet, or Zoom on iOS​

iOS apps cannot access audio from Teams, Meet, or Zoom directly due to privacy restrictions. You can join the call using a browser instead and capture the translation using the Web App or Chrome Extension. Alternatively, use Microphone Audio Capture to capture the audio through your device's speaker or an external microphone.
