Meeting Search in MS Teams Desktop MC1104317 Published Jun 26, 2025

We're improving the search experience in Microsoft Teams Desktop to make it easier for users to find and take action on meetings—past, present, and future—directly from the search bar.

Targeted Release: Rolling out early June 2025, expected to complete by mid-June 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): Rolling out mid-June 2025, expected to complete by late June 2025.

 

Microsoft Teams: Usability and privacy improvements for live captions and transcripts in meetings MC1104311 Published Jun 26, 2025

We’ve made several usability improvements to enhance live captions and live transcripts in Microsoft Teams — making meetings more intuitive, less distracting, and more privacy-conscious.

First, live captions will be scrollable, allowing users to review the meeting conversation without interrupting the live view. To help protect sensitive content and support compliance with data handling policies, copying text from live captions is now disabled by default. This ensures captions remain a real-time experience, reducing the risk of content being copied and shared out of context.

Second, the Live transcript panel will no longer open automatically for the user who starts recording, which also triggers transcription in the background. Before this rollout, this panel only auto-opens for the person who initiates recording or transcription — not for other participants — but this can be distracting and isn’t always relevant to the user's intent. After this rollout, the Live transcript panel will remain closed unless manually opened or the user explicitly starts transcription. This gives users more control over their meeting layout and helps avoid unnecessary screen changes during important discussions.

Third, when transcription is enabled, users who attempt to open the Live transcript panel will now see a banner suggesting they switch to live captions instead. This helps guide users to the most appropriate feature for following the conversation in real time, improving comprehension and reducing confusion.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for the web.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 495454.

We're introducing a new user feature in Microsoft Teams that allows individuals to save any message—whether it's a post, reply, or chat—and access it later from the Saved view in their Chat or Teams list. Clicking a saved message will open the full conversation in the right pane, enabling users to review or respond directly. This helps users quickly return to important information without scrolling through long threads.

We will begin rolling out this private preview (Worldwide) in mid-August 2025 to a small number of Teams for the web users and expect to complete by mid-October 2025. We expect to expand this feature to other Microsoft apps later in 2025.

 

Microsoft Teams: Speaker Coach (Preview) will retire MC1101903 Published Jun 23, 2025

We will be retiring the Speaker Coach feature in Microsoft Teams, which was previously available as a Preview. After evaluating feedback and usage during the Preview phase, we have decided not to move this feature to general availability. Speaker Coach will be removed from Teams starting mid-August 2025, with full retirement expected by late August 2025.

We sincerely appreciate the feedback from users who explored the Preview. Your input has been instrumental in guiding future product development.
