WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080 Hi there, welcome to Collaboration Simplified. 00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:04.540 My name is Shervin Chaffee, and I work at Microsoft 00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:07.059 as a co -pilot principal technical specialist. 00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.699 Now on this channel, we often build our own autonomous 00:00:10.699 --> 00:00:14.179 agents, but today I'm very excited to share an 00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:17.059 agent that Microsoft has built, and that is the 00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:25.660 interpreter agent. So I just... No, it works. 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.489 It works very well. It works very. Very well. 00:00:29.690 --> 00:00:32.570 Oh, wow. That's awesome. Now, this agent is for 00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.009 your Microsoft Teams meetings and basically does 00:00:35.009 --> 00:00:37.909 speech -to -speech translations for your multilingual 00:00:37.909 --> 00:00:41.469 Teams meetings. Now, everyone can speak in their 00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:43.630 language of choice. It doesn't have to necessarily 00:00:43.630 --> 00:00:46.670 be English all the time. Simulates your voice. 00:00:46.969 --> 00:00:51.509 It's unbelievable. Yes. Incredible. I listen 00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:54.509 to Jerome. I know that Jerome is speaking in 00:00:54.509 --> 00:00:57.950 French. I hear him in Spanish and I listen to 00:00:57.950 --> 00:01:01.439 Shervin. in spanish too and it's that he uses 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.640 your voice your tone of voice it's like you're 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.060 really speaking in spanish it's incredible danny 00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:14.900 you uh i think you selected maybe yeah that's 00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:16.859 what i'm hearing i'm hearing a female voice so 00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:20.159 just go to the settings and just have it use 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.599 your own voice absolutely i'm actually quite 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.519 excited about this feature Even though it's in 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.819 public preview I get to experiment with it and 00:01:27.819 --> 00:01:41.340 share it with you. I first heard about this feature 00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:44.739 back in 2024 when it was in development and I 00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:46.340 actually couldn't believe that something like 00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:49.939 this existed because It reminded me of the United 00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:52.659 Nations meetings that I used to watch where there 00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:55.299 was an interpreter and this was a human interpreter 00:01:55.299 --> 00:01:57.780 but now that's being replaced with AI doing all 00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:00.879 that hard work and so it's a lot more cost effective 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.480 and easy to use. Today this feature comes with 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.960 your Microsoft 365 co -pilot license but when 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.319 it becomes generally available stay tuned for 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.580 any licensing changes that may present itself 00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:18.090 at that time but for now enjoy it with that license 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:20.689 and we're going to do a demo and experiment with 00:02:20.689 --> 00:02:23.689 it this feature is available in nine different 00:02:23.689 --> 00:02:26.409 languages let me see if i can remember them all 00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:31.250 so that would be english french spanish italian 00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:36.289 german portuguese mandarin chinese japanese and 00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:39.110 korean so those are the nine languages and i'm 00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:41.789 hopeful that will extend beyond those in the 00:02:41.789 --> 00:02:45.469 future Now I mentioned this is available as part 00:02:45.469 --> 00:02:48.009 of our public preview program. So for those of 00:02:48.009 --> 00:02:50.669 you who are not familiar with that program, let's 00:02:50.669 --> 00:02:52.590 take a look and see what that actually means. 00:02:52.810 --> 00:02:55.750 Okay. So this is our Microsoft Teams public preview 00:02:55.750 --> 00:02:58.129 page, and I'll drop the link in the description, 00:02:58.250 --> 00:03:00.729 but basically first off it says note features 00:03:00.729 --> 00:03:03.090 included in preview might not be complete and 00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:05.610 could undergo changes before becoming available 00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:08.870 in the public release. public preview for microsoft 00:03:08.870 --> 00:03:12.009 teams provides early access to unreleased features 00:03:12.009 --> 00:03:14.409 and teams preview allows you to explore and test 00:03:14.409 --> 00:03:17.110 upcoming features so basically we're giving you 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:21.150 early access which is awesome now i would say 00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:24.110 share this document with your admin because they 00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:26.770 have to set the update policy so that you can 00:03:26.770 --> 00:03:29.270 actually enjoy these public preview features 00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:31.789 so there's something that the admin needs to 00:03:31.789 --> 00:03:36.009 do further down below as an end user you have 00:03:36.009 --> 00:03:39.469 to take some steps inside microsoft teams which 00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:42.330 are outlined here to be able to take advantage 00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:44.669 of these public preview features so inside the 00:03:44.669 --> 00:03:47.490 new teams client you go to settings and you click 00:03:47.490 --> 00:03:50.849 on the three dots next to your user profile select 00:03:50.849 --> 00:03:53.650 settings and about teams and then under early 00:03:53.650 --> 00:03:56.490 access you select the public preview checkbox 00:03:56.490 --> 00:03:59.120 so Make sure you do that and then you should 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.280 have access to this feature. Now, sometimes it 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.879 takes a little bit of time for these features 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.580 to get rolled up because I just got news that 00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:08.879 it was in public preview this week. So it might 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.719 take a little bit of time. Now, I do also want 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.180 to mention that we've actually had live caption 00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:16.139 translations available with our Teams Premium 00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:19.579 in 31 languages for quite some time now, maybe 00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:22.279 a year or more. And if you check out this site 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.949 and if you scroll down to the bottom. it lists 00:04:24.949 --> 00:04:27.250 all the different languages i think there's 31 00:04:27.250 --> 00:04:29.910 of them that we translate to so this is more 00:04:29.910 --> 00:04:32.129 like a closed captioning but what i'm talking 00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:34.589 about now is speech now let's do a quick demo 00:04:34.589 --> 00:04:36.870 and please if you're enjoying this content make 00:04:36.870 --> 00:04:39.470 sure to give it a like as it really does help 00:04:39.470 --> 00:04:41.230 the channel thank you very much for your support 00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:44.509 setting up the interpreter agent is super simple 00:04:44.509 --> 00:04:47.569 in a teams meeting select more and then go down 00:04:47.569 --> 00:04:50.129 to language and speech and just simply select 00:04:50.129 --> 00:04:53.839 turn on the interpreter Now here it remembers 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.680 your last settings, but you can always select 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.620 settings and look at all the different languages, 00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:03.300 nine of them that we shared earlier. And you 00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:06.259 can balance the volume between the original audio 00:05:06.259 --> 00:05:09.519 or more interpretation audio. So if you want 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.379 to hear it more or less, it's up to you. And 00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:14.639 I like to simulate my voice, but you can also 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.639 test out the other automated voices. So here's 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.779 one of them. Hey there, I hope you're having 00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:24.170 a great day so far. Now let's listen to the second 00:05:24.170 --> 00:05:26.250 voice. Hey there, I hope you're having a great 00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:29.189 day so far. And finally, here's the third one. 00:05:29.410 --> 00:05:31.610 Hey there, I hope you're having a great day so 00:05:31.610 --> 00:05:36.209 far. Now what we can do is I'm going to select 00:05:36.209 --> 00:05:39.610 German and you can hear what you sound like in 00:05:39.610 --> 00:05:42.129 German in one of the automated voices. How does 00:05:42.129 --> 00:05:44.149 it sound when you translate my voice to German? 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.470 You can also select settings on the top left 00:05:52.470 --> 00:05:55.810 hand side and access the interpreter settings 00:05:55.810 --> 00:05:58.370 there. And now here I'm going to select simulate 00:05:58.370 --> 00:06:09.810 my voice. And I can also go to settings and maybe 00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:11.829 select a different language like Chinese. What 00:06:11.829 --> 00:06:14.129 about now? I'm curious what I sound like in Chinese. 00:06:19.380 --> 00:06:22.540 So that's all there is to it. Super easy to use. 00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:24.560 You can just turn it off if you wanted to. Now 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.000 let me show you what it sounds like in an actual 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:34.139 Teams meeting. It's actually part of Copilot 00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:38.000 Studio, but it's embedded inside the M365 Copilot 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.079 Suite. And once you start moving past its capabilities, 00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:45.720 like the basic retrieval augmentation, Then you 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.519 go into Copilot Studio and you can do things 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.139 like Autonomous Agents or Custom Engine Agents 00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:55.699 and that's what's shown in this diagram here. 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.660 So you go to the copilot studio and you can do 00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:21.259 things like autonomous agents or personalized 00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:24.560 engine agents. And that's what I'm trying, you 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.699 know. That's what's shown in this diagram here. 00:07:31.699 --> 00:07:34.259 Yes, it is. In fact, it is topic number one. 00:07:41.870 --> 00:07:45.009 When it comes to introducing new technology, 00:07:45.290 --> 00:07:49.389 especially artificial intelligence and agents, 00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:52.329 and what we always say is that everything we 00:07:52.329 --> 00:07:55.949 do at Microsoft goes with what? We call artificial 00:07:55.949 --> 00:07:58.810 intelligence responsibilities applied by Microsoft, 00:07:58.889 --> 00:08:02.810 but we also offer tools of what we call control 00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:05.769 and governance. For those who have access to 00:08:05.769 --> 00:08:12.870 agents of those agents, who have control? To 00:08:12.870 --> 00:08:15.889 monitor the impact of those agents. Who can use 00:08:15.889 --> 00:08:18.949 the agents? I mean, we have a suite of tools 00:08:18.949 --> 00:08:25.629 that really help. Jerome, your voice that was 00:08:25.629 --> 00:08:28.430 being translated to English for me, it sounded 00:08:28.430 --> 00:08:33.169 more like your voice. And Danny's voice didn't 00:08:33.169 --> 00:08:37.889 sound as much to me as your original voice. Okay. 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:45.539 Yours was sounding like French Quebecois. Mine? 00:08:46.159 --> 00:09:00.100 Yes! A little bit, a little bit. Thank you very 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:02.419 much for watching.
