I use Microsoft Stream to post rough copies of videos for project sponsors to review and approve. Final copies then get uploaded to YouTube - at which point captioning/transcript is ordered through a 3rd party vendor. My colleagues keep asking me about Microsoft Stream's auto-generated captions - they are confused by the amount of errors and whether or not it will be used. I am having to explain several times per week that, no, we don't use these captions and they can disregard it. I am sometimes uploading a hundred videos per month. We are all busy people and I am no exception - I just do not have time to turn off captions for each video. PLEASE create a feature in user settings that will allow me to have auto-generated captions turned off for all videos I upload in the future.

During the current crisis we have many more Teams meetings and are recording many of these, but autogenerating captions is disabled as the language of many meetings is Dutch. I believe the use of Teams is currently very high in the Netherlands, so many could benefit from video transcription being available in Dutch. Perhaps the current roadmap for language support can be shared?
