Microsoft Teams: Enhanced live captions settings and right-side panel view

We are improving the live captions experience in Microsoft Teams with new viewing layouts and streamlined configuration options. Users can now view live captions in a new right-side panel, in addition to the existing options of viewing them at the top or bottom of the screen, or popping them out into a separate window.We are also making it easier to manage caption settings directly within the meeting. By clicking the existing gear icon in the live captions pane, users will see a consolidated menu to quickly configure spoken language, caption styles, and profanity filters without navigating to separate settings panels. Additionally, this menu includes a new toggle to turn on live captions by default for all meetings, as well as a new thumbs-up/thumbs-down feedback mechanism to easily share input on the captioning experience.
