Microsoft has launched<\/a><\/strong> an update to its Teams on Web platform to improve accessibility and communication between employees who speak different languages.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Teams web users now have the option to set custom backgrounds. They can either blur the background or choose from Microsoft’s provided options.<\/p>\n

Web users can also view real-time captions within the Teams window, whereas they previously had to rely on a secondary window.<\/p>\n

“Follow along with what is being said without having to choose between the captions and the presentation,” Microsoft said.<\/p>\n

The live caption functionality includes speaker attribution and has been expanded to include 27 additional languages, including Bazilian Portuguese, German, Hindi, and Japanese.<\/p>\n

Teams on Web’s live transcription service allows attendees who missed a meeting or joined late to view a meeting’s auto-generated transcript to catch up.<\/p>\n

To enable the live transcription features, tenant administrators must turn on the “Allow transcription” service.<\/p>\n

In a previous update, Microsoft introduced<\/a><\/strong> artificial intelligence to improve meeting sound quality by removing distracting background noises.<\/p>\n

Microsoft said its machine learning model prevents users’ words from being echoed and reduces reverberation.<\/p>\n

The company said this, combined with the captioning and transcription features, markedly improves employees’ remote working experiences.<\/p>\n
