Overview

Teams offers both live transcription and live captions during meetings. However, per a request from the Office of General Counsel, we have live transcription disabled. The difference between the two is that transcription will record and transcribe the words spoken so that they can be downloaded after the meeting while live captions are not saved.


During a meeting

Live captions can be enabled during a meeting by performing the following:

  1. Select the ... More
  2. Select Language and speech.


  3. Select Turn on live captions.


  4. Select the language everyone is speaking in the meeting, if you want it to turn on during future meetings, and then Confirm.


  5. Captions will begin to appear at the bottom of the meeting window.

To turn live captions off:

  1. Go back to Language and speech and select Turn off live captions.

After a meeting

While live transcription is disabled, users can still obtain a transcript of a meeting via Microsoft Stream if the meeting was recorded.

The owner of the recording can go into the “Video settings” for the meeting and generate captions under the “Transcript and captions” section. It’ll prompt them to select a language to generate captions in. Once generated, they can download the transcript as a .VTT file.
