Teams: Live transcription in Teams meeting - 2021 New Feature!

[@KatherinePtak]

Absolute game changer; how did I not know about this until today?!? THANK YOU!!

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Glad to help.

[@michaelg1319]

Great video. We have been approved to enable this functionality for just a select few people (I know....). We're having a challenge getting it to work fully for just a handful of people. It seems if they get invited to other meetings set up by people without the transcription permissions, then no one can start the transcriptions. I bet it's a simple fix but wanted to air it out here.

[@SF-oz9kf]

Thank you SO much! I am HOH and really need this feature to keep up I'm meetings!

[@sushantnandwana]

great video Chris. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@AnastacioHernandez]

Great tips, Chris. Thank you very much!

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

My pleasure!

[@clarebooth3442]

Thank you for these tips. I am partially sighted and can't see the names of who is speaking so this feature will be a great help

[@wimvangeyt3866]

As of the year 2023 you can use Transcription in Meet now meetings. I've just tested this ;)

[@CynsCorner]

Ugh ... I don't see any of those things when I try to find them. I even contacted Teams support and they were supposed to fix it but so far nada. :(

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Are you using Teams family/personal by chance? Possibly they don't have this feature in that version.

[@CynsCorner]

@@ChrisMenardTraining Nope - we're using the business one. No idea what's wrong, but it's pretty frustrating.

[@CynsCorner]

@matthewf86 It's finally working now. I don't think that had anything to do with it. Just some weird glitch.

[@keikokamiya2532]

Thanks for the great explanation! Is there a way I turn on transcription without alerting the attendees? I have a hearing loss and prefer not to disclose during the meetings when I turn on the transcription. Thanks for your feedback in advance!

[@druizmay]

I have the same question😅

[@mayaindyah3826]

Thanks alot for your advice

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Glad to help.

[@traceylamping8979]

Hi Chris, great video. Do you know how the transcription handles people talking over each other or multiple people talking at once, in meetings? Thanks.

[@Kuker29]

Thank you, sir.

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

You're welcome

[@berbersissi]

Thanks for your video. Can you record and transcribe at the same time meetings on Teams ?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Yes, they go together. When you click Record, it starts along with the transcription.

[@martinetteclaassen3412]

I would just like to know if Teams automatically mutes attendees when someone in the group is speaking?

[@Adehead]

What options are there to retrieve transcript or video with sound in a chat or meet now? Is that information retrievable from December of 2021?

[@sudhavellanki4925]

Awesome explanation! I forgot to turn on the transcript option , I just have the recording of the meeting, is it possible to get the transcript now?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

YES. A program I use for all my YT videos is called DeScript. You can upload video or audio files. I use descript for my Closed Captioning on all videos.

[@aricwilliams6492]

Hi Chris. Is there a way to put these transcripts on word with the names and time stamps on it as well. When I converted the vtt file to a word file it just included what was said but not the name and time when it was said.

[@ritaturner9906]

When I open transcript after meeting, it doesn’t show me who was speaking. How do I fix that?

[@beverlymarion1219]

Is there any way I can transcribe a meeting if im not the organizer? I will wait for your reply. Thanks

[@cherylmazecherylm7937]

If I play a video during the meeting, will it transcribe that video as well?

[@thomasnichols8374]

Thanks for this. Do you know whether external users have access to the transcript post-recording? Also, does the meeting have to be recorded (video)? It doesn’t look like you did that, but I wanted to make sure.

[@VedicSuccessFramework]

Please note that Recording Tab is hidden for my organization. However, I was able to view live transcription. can I still recover the transcription?

[@Classicbeauty857]

Can you control who can access the transcription?

[@TheTrainstation]

I was on a Meet now call today, the person shared their screen and i could see they were transcribing the call. They never told me, very sneaky

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

I always get a message the meeting is being transcribed. That is interesting.

[@chandrasekhar6176]

Hi, How to delete the meeting recorded transcripts please give me some idea

[@VedicSuccessFramework]

Following your video, I am not finding the transcription which I was able to turn on as attendee. What may be wrong?

[@miyoon4511]

There is no recording and transcripts in call series, how to add it in recording

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

If you are in a meeting, and do not see Start Recording, your company may have turned if off.

[@leomichael8706]

Hi Chris, Thank for your video There something I would like to ask about : - I have direct meeting with one guy and of course we can not start transciption (line is grey out).... but I invite one more guy to join in and we can activate it..... how we can explain this ? I tried to search more detail in MS but nothing mentioned :)

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Leo, is this a video call or a meeting? Make sure it is a meeting, and you should be able to use transcription. If it is a video call, which is being in chat, and clicking the video camera, transcription doesn't work.

[@leomichael8706]

@@ChrisMenardTraining Thank you Chris... mistaken between video call and meeting...

[@omeccamajor2132]

Hello -I dont see the recording and transcript option

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Hello. It is possible your company disabled those features.

[@svtis-f6b]

Sorry, why I can't recover my meeting. Anyone feel it to?

[@andrewdugmore1869]

can it transcribe in Afrikaans

[@yingying9389]

Really appreciated for your wonderful tips, I think I WON'G scared to have a meeting with Indian guys !
