| More Information |
|---|
In Microsoft Teams, meeting participants who use language interpretation will be able to control the volume ratio between the original meeting audio and the interpretation audio after they select the language to listen to in the meeting. This message applies to Teams on Windows desktop and Teams on Mac desktop. NOTE: Meeting organizers must enable language interpretation when setting up the meeting. When this will happen:Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early November 2024 (previously early October) and expect to complete by mid-November 2024 (previously early October). General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-November 2024 (previously mid-October) and expect to complete by late November 2024 (previously late October). General Availability (GCC): We will begin rolling out late November 2024 and expect to complete by early December 2024 (previously late November). General Availability (GCC High): We will begin rolling out early December 2024 and expect to complete by mid-December 2024 (previously early December). General Availability (DoD): We will begin rolling out late December 2024 (previously late December) and expect to complete by early January 2025 (previously late December). How this will affect your organization:Before this rollout: Meeting participants using language interpretation are not able to control the volume ratio of the original meeting audio and the interpretation audio. After this rollout: If a meeting organizer has enabled language interpretation when setting up the meeting, participants will be asked which language they want to listen when they first join the meeting, or they can go to the More menu > Language and speech > Language interpretation to choose a language: After choosing a language, participants will see the control for the volume ratio of the original meeting audio and the interpretation audio: What you need to do to prepare:This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation. |
