Microsoft Teams: Enhancements to Interpreter and multilingual meeting experience

First, spoken language is now automatically detected and updated across Interpreter, live captions, and live transcription when Interpreter is enabled, keeping all speech features consistent with the language being spoken – no manual setup required. When Interpreter is disabled, live captions and transcription will still work, but auto-update spoken language will not be available, which may result in gibberish or inaccurate content if participants switch languages during the meeting. Next, a new “preparing” status provides clear visual feedback while Interpreter initializes, helping users know when the system is ready -especially important for multilingual meetings. Lastly, Interpreter settings have also been improved with concise explanations for each configuration and field, making setup easier and minimizing confusion.
