[What and why]We are improving the multilingual meeting experience in Microsoft Teams by personalizing meeting recaps based on the language each participant selected during the meeting through translated captions or Teams Interpreter.After a meeting ends, users will initially see the meeting recap in the translation or interpretation language they selected during the meeting. They can also choose a different supported language after the recap is generated.This update helps participants review meeting content in the language they used during the meeting, improving accessibility and continuity for multilingual collaboration.This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 567458.[Rollout schedule]Targeted Release: Beginning in early August 2026 and expected to complete by mid-August 2026General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High): Beginning in mid-August 2026 and expected to complete by late August 2026[Impact on your organization]Who is affectedUsers who:Access meeting recaps in Microsoft TeamsUse translated captions during meetingsUse Teams Interpreter during meetingsHave the required licenses and access to Teams meeting recap featuresPlatforms and servicesMicrosoft Teams for Windows and Mac desktopMicrosoft Teams on the webMicrosoft Teams for iOSMicrosoft Teams for AndroidTeams meeting recapWhat will happenAfter rollout:Meeting recaps will initially be displayed in the translation or interpretation language selected by each participant during the meeting.Different participants in the same meeting may see the recap in different languages based on their own language selections.Users can change the recap language after it is generated by selecting another supported language: Changing the recap language affects only how the recap is displayed for that user.
