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.

Shalendra Chhabra Hi! Will live captions be eventually added to Teams on the web? We have lots of users who can only access the web version (students) and they need live captioning for accessibility reasons.
Yes, absolutely. We are working on it.
- Thanks! We look forward to it. Is there a timeline or roadmap item for it yet that we can follow?
