Microsoft Teams live Speech-to-Speech Translation – available in early 2025!

In November 2024, Microsoft announced the upcoming availability of real-time speech-to-speech translation in Microsoft Teams meetings, set to launch in early 2025. The Microsoft AI Interpreter agent enables this new meeting capability and allows meeting participants to speak and listen in the language of their choice and their unique voice.
