Description
The Live captions feature enables live subtitles in Microsoft Teams, helping all meeting participants to interact better, in a more accessible way. Live captions automatically create real-time subtitles based on the spoken words of the meeting participants. The text appears in real time.
With the newly introduced toggle for turn on/off profanity filtering in live captions in Teams meetings, users are now able to control whether they want to continue to leverage the profanity filtering capability provided out of the box, or if they want to see every word as-is.

Available to everyone in Public Preview channel.
How to enable

To turn live captions on, join a meeting or start a call. Select the More icon in the meeting toolbar > Language and speech > Turn on live captions. To change the spoken language, click the three dots in the live captions pane at the bottom of the screen.
