Microsoft Teams's Built-in Transcription (and Its Limitations)
Teams includes live captions and meeting transcription as part of Microsoft 365 business plans.
However, there are notable limitations:
- Requires Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise license
- Audio is processed through Microsoft cloud services
- Transcription stored in Microsoft cloud
- Limited export options for transcripts
