Microsoft Teams Still Doesn't Support Live Captions & Translation — Here's the Fix

In many meetings, participants speak different languages. Even when everyone uses English, accents and fast speech can make conversations hard to follow. Microsoft Teams offers live captions, but they appear only in one language — making multilingual meetings difficult.

DBird Live Captions & Translation for Teams adds a second caption line below the original speech — translated in real time, directly inside your Teams meeting. No extra app, no copy-pasting. Works on both Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

How It Works

Once installed, the extension reads the captions generated by Teams and displays a translated caption below the original — each speaker shown separately, automatically.

1. Join your Microsoft Teams meeting as usual.
2. Enable Live Captions from the meeting toolbar (More → Turn on live captions).
3. DBird detects the captions and displays a translated line below — no setup needed.
4. See both the original speech and the translation in real time, per speaker.

Auto Transcript — Every Meeting, Saved

DBird doesn't just show captions in real time — it also automatically saves a full transcript of every Teams meeting. After each call, you get a clean, timestamped record of who said what, organised by speaker. No more scrambling to take notes mid-meeting.

• Saved automatically in the background — nothing to configure.
• Speaker labels on every line so you know exactly who said what.
• Stored locally on your device — never uploaded to any server.
• Review, copy, or export past meetings from the extension's Activity page.

The Challenge of Multilingual Meetings

Many teams work across different countries. Meetings often include people who speak different native languages. Even when everyone uses English, fast speech and accents make it easy to miss details.

Captions help, but one language is rarely enough. Most users benefit from seeing both:

• The original speech — to catch proper nouns, numbers, and tone.
• A translated caption — to understand meaning in their native language.

DBird delivers both lines together, per speaker, in real time — without leaving Microsoft Teams.

Who Is This For?

• Non-native English speakers in international meetings.
• Multilingual teams working across borders.
• Students attending lectures or webinars in a foreign language.
• HR and legal teams who need a written record of meetings.
• Anyone who has ever missed something important and wished they had a transcript.
