Hello, I'm joining from Kansas and use sign language interpreters + captioners and transcripts through all my meetings, in-person or virtual. What input and usability testing did you get from people with disabilities before launching this feature, and if there are methods for refining this feature such as how to empower individuals to have the best view for accessibility (as everyone's needs are different), how can we get that feedback to you?

Dec 13, 2022Hello! We worked with a select set of US state governments, their deaf and hard of hearing users, a paid advisory board that helps across Microsoft, individual user feedback, and employees here within Microsoft, and we also ran user research studies, including interpreters and those from the deaf and hard of hearing community.
We definitely want your feedback! Head to our Teams Feedback Portal (https://aka.ms/TeamsFeedback) and drop your idea or feedback there - it goes straight to the Teams Engineering team.
