help Microsoft Teams Live Captions FAQ
How do I turn on Live Captions in Microsoft Teams?
In a Teams meeting, open More actions, choose Language and speech, and select Show live captions. Each participant can usually turn captions on for their own view, subject to the organization's Teams policy.
Are Microsoft Teams Live Captions saved as a transcript?
No, live captions are on-screen text during the meeting and are not the same as a saved meeting transcript. If the organizer enables transcription, that separate Teams feature creates a meeting artifact governed by the tenant's retention policy.
Can Microsoft Teams translate Live Captions into another language?
Teams supports translated captions in some licenses and meeting configurations, but availability depends on the tenant, meeting policy, and language pair. Microsoft Teams Premium and Microsoft 365 Copilot can affect access, so verify the license before promising translation.
Do Microsoft Teams Live Captions work in calls or only meetings?
Live captions are available in supported Teams meetings and calls, not only in large scheduled meetings. The speaker's audio quality, selected spoken language, and Microsoft account policy all affect the result.
