The OpenCensus Bridge helps facilitate the migration of an application from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetry. The OpenCensus Bridge helps facilitate the migration of an application from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetry.
## Caveat about OpenCensus
Installing a metric or tracing bridge will cause OpenCensus telemetry to be exported by OpenTelemetry exporters. Since OpenCensus telemetry uses globals, installing a bridge will result in telemetry collection from _all_ libraries that use OpenCensus, including some you may not expect. For example ([#1928](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/issues/1928)), if a client library generates traces with OpenCensus, installing the bridge will cause those traces to be exported by OpenTelemetry.
