Users can start or stop transcription and view the meeting transcript directly from Teams Rooms devices.

Improvements

Live transcription

• Users can start or stop transcription and view the meeting transcript directly from Teams Rooms devices. Users can also change the meeting spoken language, translate the transcript to their desired language, as well as view the original and translated transcript side by side, ensuring that the transcript is accurate and meaningful for non-English speakers. IT admins can allow or prevent users (including resource accounts) from transcribing meetings using the meeting transcription policy in Teams admin center.

Translated captions

• Captions on Teams Rooms support additional languages and translation capabilities, enhancing meeting accessibility and inclusivity for non-English speaking users. Users can change the meeting spoken language directly from Teams Rooms devices and translate the spoken language as desired, allowing for real-time translation of captions. IT admins can turn on captions by default for all calls and meetings, as well as turn off the filtering of any profanity in captions and transcripts as necessary.

Updated Gallery view

• The updated Gallery View in Teams Rooms on Windows arranges all participants in consistent tile sizes, prioritizes video on the meeting stage, offers additional layout options, increases video for single and dual displays, and more. In 1:1 calls/meetings, preview video will be positioned at the bottom right, overlapping the other participant, on the primary display. This provides a unified meeting experience across both Teams Rooms and desktop.
