I use this app every day... It is generally a good app. I use the translation in video chat mode every day... As of 4 days ago it stopped working... I have asked for help many times but it still is not fixed... Please fix fast Well they fixed the translation and three weeks later it is horrible again.. double talk translating way slow.. not even words spoke... I think we will move to zoom... I have put in a number of reports but not working. Still issues with transportation and video

I need this app to be able to answer incoming calls automatically. I have enabled the necessary settings, but it JUST WON'T DO IT. Also, on mobile, if you set it to focus the speaker, and if there's only ONE participant who has their mic and video on, and as soon as THAT PARTICIPANT makes any noise, the speaker view automatically switches and stays stuck on a MUTED PARTICIPANT. You can only "pin" participants on the computer, not mobile.
