Video conferencing platforms have become very popular, especially after the pandemic entered our lives. These platforms are used by hundreds of thousands of people around the world every day for meetings, lectures and many other purposes. The companies behind the apps are also releasing new features to improve the user experience.
Technology giant Microsoft’s video conferencing service Microsoft Teams is also one of the most popular platforms in its field. The giant company has now announced that it has brought a new feature that will delight Teams users.
Translated live captions have arrived in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft has added a feature to the platform that will make international Teams calls easier. Accordingly, users will now be able to use the ‘translated live captions’ feature when starting a meeting. In particular, it will be possible to select different languages together and thus see the live subtitles translated from the desired language from the bottom of the screen during the meeting.
With this feature, which was first introduced in August, the company thinks that people using the platform can better communicate with their colleagues in different countries.
How to use the new feature?
For the translated captions feature, you need to start a meeting from Teams. Then, you need to press ‘More Options’ from the meeting controls and click ‘Open Live Captions’. After that, it is necessary to go to the ‘Subtitles’ menu from the section with live subtitles and select the language to be translated. Let’s add that the feature may not have come to everyone yet.
