Summary:
The Interpreter agent in Teams meetings allows real-time speech-to-speech interpretation, enabling users to speak and listen in their preferred language. Users can choose their own simulated voice or default voices. Rolling out from late March to early April 2025, it requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Admins can manage access via PowerShell.
Details:
The Interpreter agent allows each user to enable real-time speech-to-speech interpretation in multilingual Teams meetings so they can speak and listen in the language of their choice, instantly overcoming language barriers.
Users can opt-in to have Interpreter simulate their voice, helping others identify them more easily and follow the conversation more naturally. Alternatively, users can opt to choose from a set of default voices.
Whether you're collaborating with global teams or engaging with international clients, the Interpreter agent ensures everyone can speak, listen, and understand without barriers - making meetings more accessible and engaging.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late March 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.
