[Introduction]
Microsoft Teams is introducing automatic spoken language detection in multilingual meetings to improve caption, transcript, and interpretation accuracy. 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 live captions and transcripts when Interpreter is enabled or when multilingual speech recognition is turned on in meeting options. The change helps ensure consistent recognition across multilingual meeting scenarios.
