Microsoft Teams: Enhanced live captions settings and right-side panel view

Microsoft 365 Message Center Archive by Merill Fernando

Summary

We are improving the live captions experience in Microsoft Teams with new viewing layouts and streamlined configuration options. Users can now view live captions in a new right-side panel, in addition to the existing options of viewing them at the top or bottom of the screen, or popping them out into a separate window. We are also making it easier to manage caption settings directly within the meeting. By clicking the existing gear icon in the live captions pane, users will see a consolidated menu to quickly configure spoken language, caption styles, and profanity filters without navigating to separate settings panels. Additionally, this menu includes a new toggle to turn on live captions by default for all meetings, as well as a new thumbs-up/thumbs-down feedback mechanism to easily share input on the captioning experience.
