    Thanks for this feedback! We're rolling out an update soon that will allow you to hear your translated voice without joining a call. CPU usage is on the radar, hope to make some pr…

    Fantastic question. Our opinion on this is that the higher-bandwidth we can make the communication, the more useful it will be. The reason we've moved from IRC->VoIP->Video is beca…
