Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android (April 2026 Update): Live Transcripts + Ad Hoc Room Reservations
Graham Walsh walks through the April 2026 Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android update using a Neat Bar Pro and Neat Pad Pro, highlighting new features including ad hoc room reservation and Live Transcription. He demonstrates joining a scheduled meeting, enabling captions with speaker recognition and changing caption language, then switching to the new Transcript view that appears on the right side and can display both the original language and English simultaneously. He notes how unidentified speakers appear as anonymous if their voice isn’t enrolled, and explains how transcripts feed into meeting recaps with AI summaries and speaker attribution for Teams Premium or Copilot users. Finally, he shows the new Reserve button for on-device ad hoc bookings and the setting to disable it, which is on by default.
