The way to join a meeting on Group Transcribe

Hi,

I am interested in using Group Transcribe, an app released by Microsoft Garage recently, and I have a question regarding the way to join a meeting on the app.
(I couldn't find any tags related to this app, so I used azure-translator as a tag instead)

The FAQ below says there are three ways to join the meeting: Bluetooth, QR code and keys consisting of 5 alphabet letters.
Obviously people can't join the meeting by Bluetooth if they are not nearby.
But would it be possible for us to join meetings by QR code or keys if we are far apart, say when we all work from home and have an online meeting?
I've tried to use it in a remote meeting with my colleague, but there was an unspecified error. I thought it was due to the distance, but I could be wrong.

I would very appreciate it if someone could help me on this one!

Thanks,

    @Umi Thanks for the question. Yes, since this feature of Microsoft Translator is app only the tag for the same is not supported on this forum. According to your question from the FAQ link it seems to suggest that this is not the intended use for the App. The transcription and translation quality such as speaker attribution would be discounted because the app is designed for people to use in the same room.

    I will check internally if I could help you on this or provide an appropriate forum link. Thanks!!
