Live Captions in Teams Meetings (NOT Live Events)
I know that Teams offers live captions/subtitles with Live Events. Does that same functionality exist for regular Teams meetings (i.e. not live events)? If so, how do I turn that on?
Thanks.
- Live captions in teams are available for enterprise users only. Assuming you are logged into MS teams with an enterprise account, it should show up for you. Can you also confirm the employee who can see this option is also a user under the same enterprise? There is tenant policy that the tenant admin needs to set to enable live captions, It might be worthwhile to check with your tenant admin if the right values are set.

Greg Davidson This feature dropped yesterday on selected Teams tenants
Does anyone know if the voice processing is done in local data centres - or is it all routed through the US? Struggling to get an answer from any channel, which leads me to suspect the latter ... and which would force us to turn it off.
Edit: subsequent testing indicates significant dropouts in captions - entire sentences are missing. This suggests latency issues of processing going half way around the world.
