For more information about feature availability and licensing, see Teams Premium licensing.

Teams Premium is an add-on license that provides the following enhancements to Teams:

  • Enhanced administrative and telemetry support

This article, written for IT Pros and admins who are deploying and configuring Teams Premium, describes the available features and provides links to more detailed documentation.

Now that Teams Premium has reached general availability, some features that were previously accessible with Teams now require a Teams Premium license for access.
