Teams Premium Goes Beyond Meetings and Webinars 

• Outside of AI features, also in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams Premium largely helps organizers of large or complex events.
• Customers who need secure meetings and custom management should consider the capabilities of Teams Premium.
• Microsoft is also using Teams Premium to enable Teams-adjacent capabilities in other services.
• Most organizations should license some users for Teams Premium, but planning is required to avoid “blanket” purchases.

Teams Premium is an add-on User Subscription License (User SL) that adds capabilities to users with a Teams User SL. Premium will mostly benefit event organizers who manage meetings, webinars, and town halls by providing advanced controls and new security features. Licensing requirements vary by feature, with some requiring licensing only for organizers and others for each individual user, leading, unfortunately, to higher costs for those features. Premium also includes some AI features that overlap with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Most organizations will have several users, from admins to executives, who can benefit from Team Premium, but they should understand how features are licensed to avoid overpurchasing, especially if users are already licensed with Microsoft 365 Copilot.
