How to i set up translation caption in a live teams meeting

To set up translation captions in a live Microsoft Teams meeting, you need to ensure that you have the Teams Premium license, as this feature is part of that offering. Here are the steps to enable live translated captions:

1. Ensure Teams Premium License: Make sure that the meeting organizer has a Teams Premium license, as this is required for attendees to use live translated captions.
2. Set Up Meeting Policy: In the Teams admin center, navigate to Meetings > Meeting policies. You can either edit an existing policy or create a new one. Ensure that the Live captions setting is set to Not enabled, but users can enable.
3. Select Languages: During the meeting, the organizer can preselect up to 10 languages for attendees to use for live translated captions. If you want the captions to appear in French, ensure that French is selected as one of the languages.
4. Enable Live Captions: During the meeting, the organizer or participants can toggle on live captions from the control bar. They can also select the caption language by clicking on the Captions language button after captions start.

By following these steps, your spoken words during the presentation should appear in French in the captions for attendees who have selected that language.

Hi @Formoso, Alex 

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Q&A forum. 

It appears you’d like to have your spoken words appear in French captions during a Teams meeting. This feature is available through Live Translated Captions, which requires a Teams Premium license. 

There are steps you can try to enable it: 

1. Join your meeting and click More (⋯) in the toolbar. 
2. Select Language and speech > Choose Show live captions 
3. Choose Gear icon > Language settings 
4. The tab on the right displays the translation settings. 
5. Enable the “Translate to” option > Choose French from the dropdown list. 

If you don’t see the option, your IT admin may need to enable Live translated captions in the Teams Admin Center. 

For detailed instructions and requirements, please refer to this guide: Use live captions in Microsoft Teams meetings
