BEST PRACTICES

  • If you use the AI features, the meeting is automatically recorded. The meeting summary, transcript, and other AI features will be available to every person with a Teams Premium license who attends the meeting. If you are sending meeting summaries to attendees without Teams Premium, be sure to review and edit the summary for accuracy.

  • The transcription is not perfect. The AI cannot does not work well when two people are speaking. Even when people are signed in, it sometimes mis-identifies who is speaking. If speaker attribution is important, say the name of the person who is speaking

TEAMS PREMIUM FEATURES
