Teams has captions. That's not the same as translation.
Transcription ≠ translation
Teams transcribes what's said. If the speaker isn't in your language, you still don't understand it. Localingo translates — into your language, as they speak.
Translation is locked behind enterprise licences
Real-time translation in Teams requires a Microsoft premium licence most users don't have. Localingo works with any Teams account, on any plan, for free.
Captions disappear when the call ends
Teams' captions are gone the moment you close the meeting. Localingo saves every meeting — transcript and translation — to your history.
How it works
Join your Teams meeting as usual
Nothing changes about how you use Teams. Use the desktop app or browser — Localingo works alongside either.
Allow screen audio when prompted
No installs, no plugins, no bot joining your call. Open Localingo in a browser tab and grant screen audio access when the browser asks — that's all it needs to start translating.
Follow every word, in your language
Live captions appear as people speak, translated into your language in real time. Everything is saved to your meeting history.
What you get with every Teams call
Every word translated as it's spoken
Your Teams meeting is transcribed and translated into your language within seconds — across 90+ languages — so you follow every word as it happens, not a delayed summary.
Every meeting saved to your history
After the call ends, every Teams meeting is waiting in your dashboard — full transcript, translation, and a searchable history of everything that was said. Nothing lost when Teams closes.
Your past meetings, saved and searchable.
