Microsoft Teams: Interpreter - Simultaneous mode enhancements

Microsoft Teams Interpreter simultaneous mode now includes admin controls to disable voice simulation, automatic distinct voice assignment per speaker, reduced visual distractions, audio activation confirmations, and in-product feedback options. Admins may need to adjust PowerShell configurations if voice simulation should be disabled.

Action required: Review and configure voice simulation settings via PowerShell if you need to disable the feature for your organization.

Microsoft's description

We’re raising the bar on clarity and control with Interpreter. Admins can fully disable voice simulation via PowerShell when needed. Each speaker is automatically assigned a distinct voice, making multi-speaker conversations easier to follow. We’re reducing distractions by showing shimmer effects only to Interpreter users. We’ve added audio notifications to confirm activation, and we’ve introduced in-product feedback mechanisms so users can easily share their input.
