Microsoft Teams: Enhanced privacy and stability for live captions

🚨 The Signal: Teams live captions now retain only the last five minutes of dialogue when transcription is off, enhancing privacy. This change prevents full meeting content from being displayed in captions without explicit transcription, reducing potential data exposure.

The Impact

All Teams users are affected, with a minor positive impact on data privacy by limiting transient caption data.

• End-users: Reduced risk of accidental exposure of full meeting dialogue via captions.
• Security Teams: Improved default privacy posture for meeting content.
• Compliance Teams: Better alignment with data minimisation principles for transient data.
