summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams will introduce updates to improve meeting transcript accuracy by prompting users to select the spoken language before starting transcription, with only certain roles able to change the language once transcription begins, and providing notifications for language mismatches.
Direct effects for Operations**
Transcription Accuracy
If users do not set the spoken language correctly before starting transcription, it may lead to inaccurate transcripts, affecting the quality of meeting records and user understanding.
