Microsoft Teams: Spoken language detection is now automatic

Why it matters: Retirement / removal — plan migration

From Microsoft's description: “Manual spoken language selection will no longer be available.”

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.
