Details
Updated September 24, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Microsoft Teams will soon add features that make it easier for Teams Premium and Copilot users to communicate in meetings where attendees speak different languages. After this rollout, each participant can choose their spoken language and a translation language, for more inclusive and productive conversations. Users will also receive an automatically translated intelligent meeting recap in the translation language they selected for live transcription and captions. For admins, these features help to ensure a more inclusive collaboration experience for multilingual teams, without requiring extra setup.
A Microsoft 365 Copilot license or a Teams Premium license are required to use this feature.
