Microsoft: Description Real-Time Text (RTT) in Microsoft Teams
Realtime Text (RTT) is a function that allows people to actively participate in the conversation by reading the spoken word and/or writing their own comments. With RTT, there is no delay in the display of spoken or written contributions; the messages are displayed in real time for all participants.
For calls in normal 1:1 chats, the call is not encrypted by default.
The use of end-to-end encryption for MS Teams is possible at KIT.

As we continue to enhance OneNote with a unified and modern experience, we want to remind you that OneNote for Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. To avoid disruptions, we strongly urge your organization to fully transition to OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) and uninstall the legacy application as soon as possible. Migrating ensures continued access to the latest features, security updates, and a modernized experience.
When this will happen:
OneNote for Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025.
How this affects your organization:
- Enhanced Security & Compliance: OneNote for Windows 10 does not support Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labeling, which is essential for securing sensitive data. Users relying on outdated versions will lose access to labeled content.
- New Features & AI-Powered Copilot: OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) is the future of OneNote, with continuous investment in AI-powered features like Copilot to enhance productivity.
- Improved Performance & Support: The legacy version no longer receives updates or bug fixes, leading to potential performance issues and reduced functionality.
- Faster Sync & Collaboration: Starting June 2025, users of OneNote for Windows 10 will experience slower sync performance, impacting real-time collaboration and multi-device access.
- Uninterrupted OneNote Experience: Beginning July 2025, users of OneNote for Windows 10 will see in-app banners prompting them to switch to OneNote (M365), which could impact their workflows.
What you can do to prepare:
Don't wait until your users face disruptions—migrate them now using our migration guide and script for a seamless transition. An external link was removed to protect your privacy.
