Transcripts in dark mode not visible

I musst say although not perfect transcripts is an amassing feature, specially since oyu have the Recordings & Transcripts tab in the meeting details panel as part of the Meeting summary. 

 

now is an user have the Dark mode in teams, the transcripts are not visibel. only after we highlighted content we realized that the text is there, is simply dark as well therefore not readable.

 

if you jump to the Default Theme, then you can read. is this a known bug ? the text of the transcrips should be white for users who use the Dark Theme in Teams isnt it ? 

 

The version of teams i am looking at this bug is -> Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.9773 (64-bit). It was last updated on 12/04/2021.

    This has been a problem for 5 months now? 😳

    Yes, still a problem with me on 1.4.00.22472 (64-bit). First time seeing a Transcript today, thought it was really useful... except I had to hover over each line, line by line, to read it.

    I'm not an overall fan of dark mode (here, now, observing the Teams site in "eye searing" white), but Teams' design style looks more normal in a dark theme.

    With so many people practically being offended by the mere existence, let alone default, of light themes, it's genuinely surprising that MS didn't notice this bug and fix it before shipping. Even more so to still have it a problem 5 months later.

      Does complete reinstal Teams (with clearing app cache) can solve it?

      Mine works just fine.

      What windows do you use? I tried in win 10 & 11Beta both are fine. 

      How if you change the windows theme colour, will do anyhting to the text?

        I check mine it is 1.4.00.22976 (64-bit), have tried to manual update several times but said I have the latest version. Check in github, so far the latest preview build version is 1.4.00.22976 (64-bit). Check in whatpulse there is 1.4.00.25182 dated 14Sept, but sometime you may get the exploration build or continuous deployment build there, so not recomended to get the version there.
        Just now I tried to turn on caption in Dark mode, the transcripts appears in white text and clearly seen.
