Summary
                Microsoft Teams updates require explicit transcription consent for meetings, with a revised rollout timeline. Participants must consent to be transcribed, and non-consenting members cannot unmute or share content. Admins should enable the 'get recording and transcription consent' policy to prepare. Roadmap ID 389368 details the changes.


More Information

You can hold a Microsoft Teams meeting that requires everyone's consent in order to be transcribed. For tenants or user groups who turned on the policy get recording and transcription consent, all meetings will require explicit consent from participants when the transcription is started. 

When this will happen:

Worldwide, GCC: We will begin rolling out early June 2024 (previously mid-May) and expect to complete by mid-June 2024 (previously late May).

GCC High: We will begin rolling out late August 2024 (previously mid-July) and expect to complete by mid-September 2024 (previously late July).

DoD: We will begin rolling out late September 2024 (previously mid-August) and expect to complete by mid-October 2024 (previously late August).

How this will affect your organization:

If your tenant turns on the policy get recording and transcription consent, meetings organized by users within the tenant will require participants' agreement to be transcribed when transcription is started. Participants can agree or disagree to be transcribed. If participants do not consent, they cannot unmute, turn on their camera, or share content during the meeting.
