Microsoft is rolling out profanity filtering in Teams: Report
Microsoft Teams, which allows users to view live text in meetings, will soon support turning the profanity filter on or off with a switch.
According to Windows Central, the feature is in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap and could be available as early as May 2023, though that could change.
“With the newly introduced profanity filtering on/off feature, users can now control whether they want to continue to take advantage of the profanity filtering feature already provided, or whether they want to see each word as it is,” according to the company.
Additionally, according to the report, when the filter switch for Live Captions becomes available, it will be an option in Microsoft Teams for Windows and Mac.
According to the report, it should also be available to a wide range of customers, including government tenants.
At the same time, Microsoft has introduced new “set delivery” options in Teams, which now allow users to mark their messages as important or urgent.
The options allow users to ensure their posts are “noticed and given the attention they deserve,” the company said in a statement.
Go to the “Mark as important” button below the text field and select either “Important” or “Urgent” depending on the level of attention the message requires.
