Live Captioning

[Webster Alfonso]

Are there any plans to add Live Captioning as an option?

As a workaround, try the live captioning arriving in PowerPoint. But yeah, I hope it becomes a service native to Live Events.

Thanks for the question! We are working on live captions for events. :) We don't have timing at this point, but it's on the roadmap.

Live Captions is an option to Live Events and it is coming to Teams meetings as well.

@Darrell Webster Thanks! I wasn't aware of that feature, I'll take a look. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Present-with-real-time-automatic-captions-or-subtitles-in-P...

@Vesa Nopanen Thanks I'll try that out. I'm hoping this rolls out Live Events through external encoders as well.

This feature dropped yesterday on selected Teams tenants.

Yes, I saw that in my Teams meetings this morning! Excellent! :)
