Summary:
Live captions copying will be disabled in Microsoft Teams meetings to enhance content protection. The rollout will occur from June to July 2025, depending on the release schedule. This update prevents copying caption text but does not affect accessibility or the transcript feature. No admin action is required.
Details:
We're rolling out a small update to help enhance meeting content protection in Microsoft Teams. To better support organizations with compliance and privacy needs, Live Captions will now be view-only during meetings. This means you can continue to follow along with captions in real time - but without the ability to copy text directly from the caption pane. This change helps prevent sensitive meeting content from being copied and shared unintentionally - especially now that captions can be scrolled to view the full meeting conversation. It adds an extra layer of content protection for organizations that need to manage information shared during live meetings.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-June 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025.
General Availability (GCCH, DoD): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025.
General Availability (Gallatin): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025.
