More information
What and why
We're bringing Interpreter agent to Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, enabling real-time spoken language interpretation during meetings. This feature helps multilingual teams collaborate more effectively by allowing participants to speak and listen in their preferred language. Interpreter agent supports up to nine languages and includes options for voice simulation to create a more natural meeting experience.
This feature is available for Teams Rooms on Android with a Teams Rooms Pro license. No additional Copilot license is required.
Rollout schedule
- General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High and DoD): Beginning in late August 2026 and expected to complete by late September 2026

What will happen
- Users will be able to enable Interpreter during supported meetings from the Teams Rooms on Android experience:
- Users can select a target language and choose how their translated speech is presented to others.
- Supported languages include Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- Users can choose between Simulate my voice (default) and Automated voice for translated speech.
- Voice samples and biometric data are not stored. Audio is processed in real time and not retained.
- Simultaneous interpretation may introduce a brief delay while speech is translated:
- Interpreter is enabled by default at the tenant level.
- Admins can disable Interpreter for their organization and configure the default voice option through Teams meeting policies.
- There is no device-level Interpreter setting in the Pro Management Portal (PMP).
- Twenty hours of interpretation per room account per month are included with a Teams Rooms Pro license. Usage beyond the included allocation is subject to available capacity.
Action required and recommendations
No action is required.
We recommend that administrators:
- Verify that applicable room accounts have a Teams Rooms Pro license.
- Review existing Interpreter settings and default voice preferences for your organization.
- Communicate this new capability to helpdesk and support teams.
- Update internal training and support documentation as appropriate.
- Review the Interpreter administration guidance available in Microsoft Learn.
