Enabling live captioning for guests in a teams meeting

Anonymous

I'm the administrator of this Office 365 account.  The instructions to do this indicate that I should go to "Manage meeting policies" and scroll down to Participants and guests.  However, when I click on "Manage meeting policies".  The only items which appear are

AllOn,

Restricted Anonymous Access,

AllOff,

Restricted AnonymousNORecor,

Kiosk,

Global (Org-wide default).  

All are preset to 'No" and the settings under each of these appear to be locked.  

Any advice on how to get to the screen which allows me to enable this feature for Participants and guests?

    Thank you Celso,  So my inability to access a screen which has 'Participants & Guests' when clicking on "Meeting Policies" is still a mystery.

    I can get to the place where I can click on Meeting policies.  However, the next screen that I get looks quite different.

    Hello, Resound

    I am Igor, an Independent Advisor and I will be glad to help you with this question.

    Please follow the advice from our colleague Nik S. on this thread:

    There is a meeting policy that enables "Live captions" for a guest user. Please contact your IT administrator and enable it from the Admin center:

    1. Go to MS Teams admin center: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/
    2. Expand Meetings > click on meeting policies > scroll down to Participants & guests
    3. Enable Live Captions by choosing "Disabled but the user can override" option

    A. Disabled and the user can override - Live captions aren’t automatically turned on for the user during a meeting. The user sees the Turn on live captions option in the overflow (…) menu to turn them on. This is the default setting.

    B. Disabled - Live captions are disabled for the user during a meeting. The user doesn’t have the option to turn them on.

    After you make changes to Meeting policy, please allow it up to 24 hours to take in effect.

    Hope it helps.

    Please let me know if you have any questions. I will be available

    Best Regards

    I did that above.  If you look at the above screen shots, you posted a screen shot of what appears on your computer when you click on the Meetings/Managing Policies tab.  I then posted a screen shot of what appears on my screen when I select the same tab (see below).  The two screens are quite different.  I'm not sure why.  On my screen there just a few options and everything seems to be locked on 'No'.

    I am the administrator of this domain.  But my paid Office 365 account is on another domain.  In this domain, I only have a Microsoft Business Basic License.  Does that limit my ability to provide administrator support to the users of this domain?Image
