How to turn on live captions in Microsoft Teams

With live captions, Teams can detect what’s said in a meeting and present real-time captions for anyone who wants them.

Live captions can make your meeting more inclusive to participants who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, people with different levels of language proficiency, and participants in loud places by giving them another way to follow along.

Nice video. Is there any option to save the conversion to read later?

This is applied when you are the host/organizer of the meeting. When you are just an attendee/guest, this option is not available, that's what I figure out when I hosted meetings and when I was just guests

[susanberger]

Please clarify: I can turn the captioning on from my computer or must I have the host do it?

If I'm the host of the meeting, does other people see if I turn on close caption?
