Is there a way to get live transcript in Microsoft Teams?
I am trying to find a way in Microsoft Teams to get the live transcript, I want to be able to subscribe to a meeting/call that it is still running and to get the transcript from it. I understand that there is an Graph API that allows me to get the transcript for a meeting/call that ended, but that's not what I need. I am alright even with faking the subscription and do a HTTP call every 2-5/seconds. After I get the transcript I would like to do some live processing on the text. I am aware that I can connect a bot to a meeting/call and then the bot can interact with the audio stream and use Azure AI Speech Service to convert the Speech-To-Text and get the live text. I found a sample in Microsoft Github repos: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-comms-samples/tree/master/Samples/PublicSamples/EchoBot This is a good solution, but if possible I would like to do be able to do one of the following, if possible: get the transcript without a bot that needs to be connected to a session. connect a bot that can interact with the live transcript in order to get all additional metadata, like speaker name.
attach file option not visible with bot joined call
I have created bot using azure and recall.ai When bot joins adhoc or schedule team meetings, it is appearing as an external user. While we have created bot email as well in azure AD. And I think due to this we are not able to see attach file option in teams chat when bot gets invited into the adhoc or schedule meetingAllow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.
Struggling to keep 1:1 meeting notes organized across weeks in Teams
I have 8 direct reports and we do weekly 1:1s. Right now I'm keeping notes in OneNote but theres no easy way to carry over action items from last week or see what we talked about 3 months ago without scrolling forever. Teams meeting notes are even worse because each meeting creates a separate note. Someone in my company suggested using a Loop page but that still doesnt solve the continuity problem. How are other managers keeping a running history of 1:1 conversations thats actually searchable and organized?
Limitations of Microsoft 365 Copilot for Excel workflows?
I've been exploring Microsoft 365 Copilot for Excel workflows recently. It works well for simple queries, but I still find it limited when dealing with: - messy data cleaning - converting images/PDFs into structured tables - more complex data transformations Curious how others are using Copilot for these scenarios? Are you relying purely on Copilot, or combining it with other tools/workflows?
Schedule daily recurring messages in Teams chat channels
This is my first post on this site! How do I set up a recurring message in a Teams chat channel? I want to remind my team daily at a specific time to put their project stand up status into our project channel. I'm assuming this would be a bot? If so, how can I find the bot? Thank you, Susan KeithleyLimiting Team invitations to specific members
Dear Microsoft, Within our organization, the ability to limit teams invites is a must for meetings. When we create a meeting, without doing so, optional members are added to the teams meeting. You can imagine that when a team meeting is created and 200 people are a member of a team but only 5 are invited, that a meeting can quickly become unproductive. We've also noted that using private channels does not allow you to create meetings. And, in fact, using a private channel would be ideal when you don't want 200+ personnel invited to a meeting that don't belong. Can we suggest two feature updates? 1. Prevent Teams from broadcasting to the whole team. Only invite the required personnel. Optional members should be just that, only receive the invite if you were included on the Optional field. Users would be able to see if they're optional or not. 2. Allow Teams to utilize private channels for more meeting control or to allow for meetings which require extreme privacy (i.e., investigations, meetings about personal health discussions, etc.). Thank you, TCTeams Meetings to Block Third-Party Recording Bots
Teams will soon block third-party recording bots from being able to create transcripts and generate AI-based summaries for Teams meetings. The problem is that these bots must export information for processing outside of a tenant, which creates all sorts of compliance issues. The new feature is part of base Teams and will be enabled in all tenants. You can disable the block and allow bots if you want. https://office365itpros.com/2026/03/16/third-party-recording-bots/Teams Suppresses Sentiments in Meeting Chats
In December 2024, Microsoft introduced a control to block responses to sentiment-related prompts in Teams meeting chat. Now that block extends to every Teams user following a consolidation of the Teams meeting implementation of chat with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Basically, the block stops Copilot responding to prompts that look for opinions about emotions, judgement, or evaluations of other meeting participants. It’s a good thing. https://office365itpros.com/2026/03/13/sentiment-related-prompts/
