Microsoft Teams: Inclusive meeting enhancements for sign language users

Originally posted by Microsoft May 31, 2025 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Sign language users will benefit from an enhanced meeting experience. Interpreters will be clearly identified in the participant roster and visually distinguished throughout meetings. Deaf and hard-of-hearing participants who use sign language will be automatically detected and elevated to active speaker status, ensuring equal prominence with spoken audio participants. This will help create a more equitable and collaborative environment for everyone.
