Introduction

Express voice enrollment in Microsoft Teams makes registering your voice profile quick and seamless. A voice profile enables features such as voice isolation, speaker recognition, identification in meeting rooms, improved transcripts, and enhanced meeting recaps and insights powered by Microsoft 365 Copilot. If you haven’t enrolled, you’ll receive an in-product prompt to opt in and enroll simply by speaking during a meeting. Admins can enable or disable this feature for their organization.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 537269.

When this will happen

  • Targeted Release: Rollout begins mid-June 2026 (previously early June) and is expected to complete by end of June (previously mid-June).
  • General Availability: Rollout begins end of June 2026 (previously mid-June) and is expected to complete by mid-September 2026 (previously end of August).

How this will affect your organization

Who is affected

  • All commercial Microsoft Teams customers except Education (EDU) tenants.

What will happen

  • A new voice enrollment experience will be available in Teams. Users can proceed to the Teams global settings > Recognition tab to opt in and enroll their voice profile by speaking during a meeting
  • User prompts will be released with a later version to drive awareness on the functionality and prompt users to enroll their voice profile.
  • The feature will be ON by default for enterprise tenants.
  • EDU tenants are excluded from this rollout.
  • Admins can disable this feature or manage settings using PowerShell in the PassiveVoiceEnrollment configuration in the csTeamsAIPolicy policy. Refer to Set-CsTeamsAIPolicy (MicrosoftTeams) | Microsoft Learn for more information.
  • If your organization previously disabled voice enrollment policies (under the EnrollVoice configuration), that policy will still be in effect and this express enrollment feature will not apply change this value.
  • As of May 2026, all tenants that previously had EnrollVoice set to disabled, Microsoft applied the same value to PassiveVoiceEnrollment for consistency.
  • To disable voice enrollment entirely for your organization, please make sure both EnrollVoice and PassiveVoiceEnrollment configurations are disabled.
  • If you choose to change the default policy setting or disable voice enrollment entirely, users will not be able to fully benefit from features like speaker recognition, transcript attribution, intelligent audio/video experiences, or receive the most insightful meeting recaps and responses from Copilot and agents.

What you can do to prepare

  • Review your organization’s Teams AI policy settings before rollout.
  • If you want to disable this feature, update the PassiveVoiceEnrollment configuration using PowerShell.
