Microsoft Teams: Profanity filter is disabled by default for captions Beta
Data as of 2 hours ago (9 September 2026)
Description
We are updating the default profanity filter setting for live captions from On to Off across Teams meetings, calls, events, and Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) devices to improve accessibility and align with EU requirements. This change will only affect users who have never configured their live captions profanity filter preference. Users who have already set their preference will keep their current setting. As a result, some users may begin seeing unfiltered profanity in live captions by default after this rollout. Users can update this preference in settings at any time.
Change history
Added to the roadmap 14 April 2026. Tracked here since 1 September 2026. Earliest target we recorded: June 2026 (since tracked — Microsoft may have moved it before we started watching).
