How to Enable and View Transcription in Teams Meeting

This post will show you how to view live transcription in Microsoft Teams meetings. Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform that facilitates seamless communication and collaboration in enterprises. The platform recently introduced a feature called Live transcription.

Live transcription allows participants to see real-time transcriptions of spoken words during the meeting. This feature helps users with hearing impairments and allows them to have a written conversation record.

Microsoft Teams generally stores recordings and transcripts in OneDrive or SharePoint. However, many organizations use Microsoft Stream and some store recordings on their local device and can find them in a folder on your device.
