Microsoft Teams Live Meeting Translation not working anymore as of July 3rd 2023.

What has just happened? Did you remove the option to translate from Microsoft Teams altogether?! We really need this option back - to be able to speak in one language, but for the receiving end to read the text in another language. Like from Japanese to English and English to Japanese. This is no longer supported. Could you please bring this feature back, and ideally, make it so that it works with individual settings, i.e. all text/speech is translated to English for me, whilst all text/speech is translated to Japanese for my counterpart?

    Adam_Piaskowski hey, live translations were initially released as a preview of a premium feature. You’ll need to upgrade to Teams Premium to use them again. 

    Here’s some more info:

      Thanks for the links.  This explains why the MS Translate app for IOS and Droid will never be fixed.  Have you seen the thread with hundreds of educators and church folk asking about why it is broke and when it will be fixed with no reply from Mother Microsoft for YEARS?   Profit Profit Profit the only thing that matters to Micro$oft.  I don't have this greed issue with Google Translate but it doesn't integrate with Teams.  Always something.  Mother Microsoft Giveth and Mother Microsoft taketh away.  Mother knows what is best for us. Teams trial, free for years (code name Exploratory) Who would know it was Beta or several year trial.  Then, when you are finally hooked and running your business on it, they want Ransom or take it away. Okay, pony up the money, it only hurts once a month, and then... YOU NEED PREMIUM for that.  We will just pull up a google translate screen and share it to take care of business.  It should be a crime to treat customers and "Partners" like this for such a much-needed application in today's global market and Mother knows it and takes advantage every time.  Free trials and "beta" features only to take away when it is ready for production.  Never again will I knowingly fall victim of this highly unethical (but legal) business practice. I would have to come home and take a hot shower to get the slime off of me if I worked at Microsoft Marketing department. How do they sleep at night?  With a full tummy.  Ha!
