What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, with source markup removed
Updated July 3, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience. We’re introducing the ability to pop out live captions (including live translated captions) and Real-Time Text (RTT) in Microsoft Teams meetings and calls. This new functionality gives users more flexibility and control over how they view text-based communication during meetings, supporting both accessibility and multitasking needs.  This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 484113. When this will happen: Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early April 2025 (previously early May) and expect to complete by mid-April 2025 (previously late June). General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-June 2025 (previously late June) and expect to complete by late June 2025 (previously mid-July). General Availability (GCCH): We will begin rolling out late June 2025 (previously mid-July) and expect to complete by early July 2025 (previously late July). General Availability (DoD): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 (previously early August) and expect to complete by mid-July 2025 (previously mid-August). How this will affect your organization: After the rollout, users will see a pop-out icon on the live captions and RTT interface during meetings and calls. This feature will be on by default. When popped out, captions and RTT will open in separate windows that users can drag, resize, and position anywhere on their screen. This allows users to customize their meeting layout and view captions or RTT in a way that works best for their workflow or accessibility needs. Live caption pop-out RTT pop-out What you need to do to prepare: This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required. Please notify your users about this change and update any relevant training materials or documentation to reflect the new pop-out experience for captions and RTT.
