In scenarios where there is a Teams user on a Teams client or a Microsoft 365 user with ACS SDKs in the call, the developer can use Teams captions, which uses the Teams captioning technology that developers may already be familiar with today. With Teams captions developers will only be limited to what their Teams license allows, basic captions where there is only 1 language for the call, with Teams premium license developers can use the translation functionality offered by Teams to provide 1 spoken language for the call and translated caption languages. In a Teams interop scenario, captions enabled through ACS will follow the same policies that are defined by Teams for [meetings](/powershell/module/skype/set-csteamsmeetingpolicy?view=skype-ps) and [calls](powershell/module/skype/set-csteamscallingpolicy?view=skype-ps).
