Easily Make Microsoft Teams Read Messages Aloud

 

Use Immersive Reader in Microsoft Teams on Desktop

To get started, open the Microsoft Teams app on Windows or Mac. Then, go to the message you want the computer to read out loud. Click on the message to reveal the reactions menu in its top-right corner and select the ellipses (horizontal three-dots) menu.

Choose “Immersive Reader” from the drop-down.

The message will open with large fonts and cover all of the Microsft Teams app space. You’ll see a “Play” button at the bottom, so go ahead and click it. The Microsoft Teams app will start speaking the message out loud, from top to bottom while the interface fades to highlight the word that’s being spoken.

You can click on any word to listen to it again. You’ll see an image under some words to help you understand its meaning visually.

Use Immersive Reader in Microsoft Teams on Mobile

Open the Microsoft Teams app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android, and go to the message you want it to read out loud.

Press and hold the message you want to listen to. Then, select the “Immersive Reader” option from the menu that pops open.

You can use the play button at the bottom to pause and resume the playback.

Customize the Voice Settings in Microsoft Teams App

You can change the playback speed and the gender of the voice to suit your requirement. In the Immersive Reader mode, you can click the “Voice Settings” button next to the “Play” at the bottom.

When the menu options appear, you can pick between a male and female voice. Also, you can adjust the playback speed from the slider.

The same “Voice Settings” button and options are available in the Microsoft Teams app for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
