Teams’ users will be able to experience a live translated transcript during the meeting on the transcript side-pane. Users can choose their spoken language and translated transcript language.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 126321

When this will happen:

• Public Preview: We will begin rolling out in early September and expect to complete rollout in mid-September.
• Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out in early September and expect to complete rollout in mid-September.
• Standard Release and GCC: We will begin rolling out in mid-September and expect to complete rollout by late September.
• GCC-H and DoD: We will begin rolling out in late October and expect to complete rollout by late November.

How this will affect your organization:

To turn on transcription during the meeting: Go to the meeting toolbar, select More, select Record and transcribe, choose Start transcription.

By default, live transcriptions are displayed in the language that’s chosen as the “spoken language“ in the transcript option. Live translated transcription allows users to see transcriptions translated into the language they’ve chosen in the option “transcript language“ that can be accessed from the Settings icon ⚙️ in the Transcript pane.  

What you need to do to prepare:

Please make sure you have a Teams Premium license to experience the feature. In the Teams admin center, admins can turn ON or turn OFF the Transcription setting within a meeting policy located under Meetings > Meeting policies. This setting is OFF by default. For additional information on configuring transcription and captions for Teams meetings, please visit this documentation.
