Most Teams Premium capabilities require that only the event organizer—the user account that creates the event in Teams—be licensed for Teams Premium. For example, all webinar capabilities of Teams Premium require only the event organizer to have a Teams Premium license. However, when only a specific user benefits from the capability, such as generating meeting reports with suggested tasks for the user, the user benefiting from the capability (the recipient) must be licensed for Teams Premium. License compliance is enforced by Teams in most cases. For example, a user without a Teams Premium license is unable to leverage meeting customization features.

Several features, like customized meeting templates and end-to-end meeting encryption, require advance setup by IT administrators. In most such cases, those administrators must also be licensed for Teams Premium to access and configure the capability. For example, a Teams administrator must have a Teams Premium license to create custom meeting templates and meeting backgrounds, and a meeting organizer must have a Teams Premium license to use templates or backgrounds in their meeting.
