Recently, I have been asked how to enable the transcription facility for Microsoft Teams in Microsoft 365. This is a very useful tool that saves businesses a lot of time.
Transcription services in Microsoft Teams have revolutionised the way meetings are documented, offering a seamless integration of AI-driven speech-to-text capabilities that ensure no detail is missed. With the ability to transcribe meetings in real time, participants can fully engage in discussions without the distraction of note-taking.
This feature not only enhances productivity but also inclusivity, catering to diverse learning preferences and assisting those with hearing impairments.
The transcripts are readily available post-meeting, providing a searchable record that aids in clarity and reduces miscommunication. For administrators, enabling this feature is straightforward, ensuring all team members can benefit from this innovative tool. As the workplace continues to evolve, the transcription feature in Microsoft Teams stands out as a valuable asset for any organisation looking to streamline their communication and documentation processes.
To enable transcription in Microsoft Teams, administrators need to navigate to the Teams admin centre to turn on the transcription setting. This simple step ensures that all meetings can be transcribed, providing a comprehensive record of discussions.
If you need this feature added to your system or are considering moving to Microsoft 365, we can project manage, plan, and implement to minimise potential disruption to your business. Octagon has a wealth of knowledge and experience in providing and managing Microsoft 365 with its ever-increasing product base and new software.
