Microsoft Teams: Speaker recognition and attribution for all Teams Rooms

Originally posted by Microsoft May 27, 2024 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Microsoft Teams is enhancing hybrid meetings with speaker recognition technology for all Teams Rooms, using voiceprints to identify participants. This feature will roll out worldwide by late June 2024, and organizations can prepare by setting up voice profiles and enabling the feature for supported hardware.

In Microsoft Teams, you will be able to enhance hybrid meeting experiences with Teams Rooms and Copilot. We are extending the support of intelligent speaker to all certified microphones to enable Teams rooms to use the advanced technology called speaker recognition to analyze the distinct vocal characteristics of each speaker, such as pitch, tone, and speaking style, to create a voiceprint for each participant, akin to a fingerprint for their voice.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out by mid-June 2024 and expect to complete by late June 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

With speaker recognition, Teams Rooms on Windows can identify speakers during live transcription in shared meeting rooms, ensuring clear and precise voice capture for every participant. This allows you to effortlessly track who said what during the meeting through intelligent meeting recap and Copilot.
