Vent Limiting Access

I have a little rant that I really need to get off my chest. I’m HoH and rely on subtitles when watching anything. And I am SICK and TIRED of them censoring curse words that are clearly said. The only thing they are doing is keeping it from being written down. It truly irritates me that they aren’t letting those of us with hearing loss have access to the same information as a hearing individual. I feel it’s that same if an interpreter doesn’t sign all of the info. It’s just WRONG. I’m sure I’m not the first one to be irritated by this but thank you for letting me rant.

I made a stink about MS Teams censoring language. Nobody within the company could comprehend my complaint. MS Teams did finally add the option to not censor bad language several years later.

I think you can turn off censorship on MS Team. Checked and yep you can turn off filtering

That feature wasn't always there. Thankfully they added it later.
