    I tried the [windows + h] and I got a message saying "dictation isn't fully supported in this app". It didn't work very well.

    You can use Windows 10 Dictation service feature. It needs to be enabled in windows settings (press [windows-icon]+h)
    To use in teams, invoke dictation service (press [windows-icon]+h), a mic will appear on top of screen > put the cursor in reply box > press space to clear the backgroung instruction text > start dictating.

    If you want to start dictating again, press mic on top of the screen and repeat the process

    Microsoft !
    Please consider this capability is the MUST ASAP for your product (Voice dictate should work for all Microsoft apps)
    You are way behind Android :-(

    My son is junior doing all virtual school through Teams, he just had a bad injury and left hand cannot type. I am really surprised he can't dictate in Teams and is having to use another program and copy and paste to communicate with his teachers, I thought for sure that functionality would be there! :(

    Please add! Particularly during the pandemic and more work from home staff, constantly typing in Teams is taking a toll on wrists. Thanks!

    PLEASE add this. I am so sick of typing out my conversations all day and universal speech to text through Windows doesn't work well with this application.

    Please add dictation to Teams. This would significantly enhance productivity, speaking instead of typing in Posts and Chats. The Closed Caption feature in meetings is great, but we also need the other direction; speach to text.

    Hi some sort of voice to text tool MUST be included in Teams in order to make it Accessible. Not only for people with problems typing but how a deafness person or with any type of hearing impairment can attend a meeting? That person is totally out as he/she cannot hear what is being said.

    It is not a matter of something cute, it is a matter of having an Accessible tool
