explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature that allows users to pop out live captions and Real-Time Text (RTT) during meetings. Think of this like having sticky notes that you can move around on your computer screen. Just as you might rearrange sticky notes on your desk to keep track of important information, this feature lets you move and resize captions and text to suit your needs during a meeting.
This change is particularly helpful for those who rely on captions for accessibility or who need to multitask during meetings. By popping out the captions or text, you can place them anywhere on your screen, making it easier to follow along with the conversation while managing other tasks. It's like having the freedom to arrange your workspace in a way that makes the most sense for you.
The rollout of this feature will happen automatically, so there's no need for any technical setup or administrative action. However, it's important to inform users about this new capability so they can take full advantage of it. Updating any training materials or guides to include this feature will help ensure everyone knows how to use it effectively.
Overall, this update is designed to give users more control over their meeting experience, much like how rearranging furniture in a room can make the space more comfortable and functional.
