Microsoft is making some updates to Microsoft Teams Interpreter and multilingual meeting experience. First, spoken language is now automatically detected and updated across Interpreter, live captions, and live transcription. Next, a new “preparing” status provides clear visual feedback while Interpreter initializes, helping users know when the system is ready. Finally, Interpreter settings have also been improved with concise explanations for each configuration and field, making setup easier and minimizing confusion. These updates are expected to rollout in December 2025.
