“With the newly introduced toggle for turning on/ off profanity filtering, users will now be able to control whether they want to continue to leverage the profanity filtering capability provided out of the box, or, if they want to see every word as-is,” Microsoft said.

On release, the feature will only be available for Microsoft Teams users on desktop and Mac devices, reported TechRadar. The company recently began testing its new Teams client 2.0 or 2.1 internally, according to The Verge report.
