If you searched "who spoke during Teams call", you are looking for a fast, reliable way to list speakers and their talk time. A transcript with speaker labels is the shortest path to a clear answer.
The quickest way to identify speakers
A transcript with speaker labels gives you the full list of participants who spoke. From there, you can summarize:
- Speaker names
- First and last speaking timestamps
- Total talk time
Step-by-step: who spoke and when
- Export the Teams transcript with speaker labels.
- Normalize names so duplicates merge into one person.
- Sort speaking turns by time to build a timeline.
- Summarize each speaker with total talk time and first/last timestamp.

- Project status calls
- Client meetings
- Retrospectives
Best practice for accurate results

- Normalize speaker names (for example, "Alex L." and "Alex Lee")
- Review brief overlaps where two speakers talk at once
Key takeaways
