How do you enable transcribing on microsoft teams?

Hi Hayley,

My name is RY, I'm an Independent Advisor and community member like you.

Let us work together regarding your query about enabling transcription in Microsoft Teams.

If you want to allow ability to transcribe meetings, you need to turn it ON in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center and it was located under "meeting policy".

If you turn this off, the Search and CC options won't be available during playback of a meeting recording. The person who started the recording needs this setting turned on so that the recording also includes transcription.

You may refer on this articles for more details on this:

Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Thank you!

Is there an option of starting Transcription without recording? I see in Teams meeting there is an option of "Start Transcription" but in the pop-up window it only records a few words and then stops. Is it a glitch or I missed doing something? I am using Windows 10 on a tablet.

I am experiencing the same behavior on a Windows 10 PC with Desktop Teams. When I click on "Start Transcription" it starts for 2 seconds then stops.

Having the same issue here and for us it looks to be caused by the service trying to connect to https://mi.svcs.teams.office.com:8080/ . Port 8080 isn't accessible via our internet proxy servers.  Why not 443??? raising a Microsoft Support ticket to find out!!
