Live Captions in Teams

October 16, 2025

Maybe you’re in a noisy environment, forgot your headphones, or simply prefer reading over listening, we suggest that you give Live Captions in Teams a try!

Live captions display, in real-time, a text version of what is being said in Teams.

  1. Join the Teams meeting
  2. Click the more (•••) icon in the top right-hand side of the window
  3. Select “language and speech”
  4. Then “show live captions”
