RM570467 - Microsoft Teams: Admins can control profanity filtering in meeting transcripts

Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Summary

Teams administrators will be able to use a meeting policy to control whether profane words are masked in live transcription and saved meeting transcripts. Filtering remains on by default. When an organizer is assigned a policy that turns filtering off, profane words can appear without masking in both the live and saved transcript, while live captions continue to follow each participant's existing profanity setting.
