Microsoft Teams: Spoken language detection is now automatic

Spoken language detection in Teams meetings is now fully automatic with no manual override option. Users will no longer be able to manually select spoken languages; Teams will detect and update language in real time for live captions and transcripts when Interpreter or multilingual speech recognition is enabled.

Action required: Remove any processes or user guidance that rely on manual spoken language selection in Teams meetings; verify automatic detection meets organizational multilingual needs.

Microsoft's description

Spoken language detection is now fully automatic. Teams will automatically detect each speaker’s spoken language and update it in real time as the conversation evolves. Manual spoken language selection will no longer be available. This applies to both live captions and transcripts when Interpreter is enabled or when multilingual speech recognition is turned on in meeting options, helping deliver more accurate language recognition and a more consistent multilingual meeting experience.
