Message ID: MC1059675
We’re introducing the ability to pop out live captions (including live translated captions) and Real-Time Text (RTT) in Microsoft Teams meetings and calls. This new functionality gives users more flexibility and control over how they view text-based communication during meetings, supporting both accessibility and multitasking needs.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 484113.

[How this will affect your organization:]
After the rollout, users will see a pop-out icon on the live captions and RTT interface during meetings and calls. This feature will be on by default. When popped out, captions and RTT will open in separate windows that users can drag, resize, and position anywhere on their screen. This allows users to customize their meeting layout and view captions or RTT in a way that works best for their workflow or accessibility needs.

The recent update to Microsoft Teams introducing pop-out live captions and Real-Time Text (RTT) is set to make a significant impact on both admins and users. For users, this enhancement means greater flexibility and control during meetings. The ability to pop out captions and RTT into separate windows allows individuals to customize their viewing experience, making it easier to follow discussions while multitasking or ensuring accessibility for those who need it. Imagine being able to drag those captions around your screen like a game of Tetris—who knew meetings could be this fun?
For admins, the good news is that this rollout requires no action on their part. It’s a seamless update that enhances user experience without adding to the administrative workload. However, it will be essential for admins to communicate these changes to their users and update any training materials accordingly. After all, no one wants to be the person fumbling around in a meeting, trying to figure out how to make those captions pop out!
Overall, the impact of these changes is likely to be quite positive, fostering a more inclusive environment and improving communication during meetings. We encourage everyone to share their thoughts on how this feature might enhance their Teams experience or any amusing meeting anecdotes you might have.
