Use Microsoft Teams Intelligent Speakers to identify in-room participants in a meeting transcription

If your organization's Microsoft Teams Rooms are equipped with Intelligent Speakers, you can hold meetings where in-room participants can be identified in live transcription.

During the meeting, all participants can easily see who’s saying what, and the post-meeting transcript identifies both remote and in-room attendees (except any who choose not to be identified).

Set up your digital voice profile

To set up your voice profile, you can use the desktop version of Teams on a Windows or Mac device.

Note: Once you've set up your voice profile, you can still participate in meetings where a different language is spoken.

Before creating a voice profile, make sure your language is supported in Teams.

To create a voice profile:

In Teams, select Settings and more > Settings > Recognition.
Select Create voice profile.
Make sure your mic is selected from the device dropdown menu.
Select Start voice capture and read the text.

Tip: Record your voice profile in a quiet location, using a high-quality microphone for best results.
Select End voice capture when you're done.
Select Close.

Update or remove your voice profile

You can re-record your voice profile if the Intelligent Speaker is having difficulty recognizing your voice.

If you remove your voice profile, your speech won't be identified in future meetings.

In Teams, select Settings and more > Settings > Recognition.
Under Voice, select Update to re-record your voice or select Remove.
