Microsoft Teams Introduces Profanity Filters to Hide Inappropriate Language

The toggle for the profanity filters can be found in the captions and transcription tab within the user settings. By default, the feature will be turned on, but users have the flexibility to customize their preferences. The feature is currently available on the Windows desktop and web versions of Microsoft Teams.

Although TechRadar Pro’s testing of the feature yielded inconclusive results, it is expected that censored or filtered words will appear as starred or blanked out. However, it is important to note that the feature does not extend to muting or preventing others from hearing explicit language, so it is still advisable to exercise caution and avoid using offensive language during meetings.
