Working with colleagues or customers who speak another language? Then you can show the join information in Teams invitations in two languages, for example Dutch and English, or English and French. An admin sets this up with a single PowerShell command.
What changes?
The block with the meeting link, meeting ID and dial-in details at the bottom of the invitation appears in up to two languages. Text the organizer types stays in its original language. The setting works through the meeting policy, for the whole organization or for specific users.
