Description

We are updating the default profanity filter setting for live captions from On to Off across Teams meetings, calls, events, and Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) devices to improve accessibility and align with EU requirements. This change will only affect users who have never configured their live captions profanity filter preference. Users who have already set their preference will keep their current setting. As a result, some users may begin seeing unfiltered profanity in live captions by default after this rollout. Users can update this preference in settings at any time.
