M365 Changelog: Generate Captions On-Demand for Stream built on SharePoint

MC293774 – This new feature will enable users, with edit permission to a video stored in OneDrive for Business or a SharePoint document library, to generate a closed caption file in English.

Any viewer of the video with a transcript will be able to display it as closed captions.

Note: Not all end users will receive this feature at the same time within your tenants.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 85552.

When this will happen:

Targeted release (entire org): will start rolling out early December and be complete by early January.
Standard: will start rolling out in early January and be complete by late January.

How this will affect your organization:

A user who does not have a transcript, but has edit permission on a video will be able to navigate to Media Settings in the player and use the Transcript and captions setting to generate captions in English. Once the transcript has been generated, the user can refresh the page to see the file and turn on Transcript and captions to display the file as closed captions for their video.

Users will also be able to delete the caption file.
Any viewer will be able to enable captions during playback via the Closed Captions button.

What you need to do to prepare:

You might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
