Step 1 - Purchase a license for the Teams Rooms console

• Applies to:

  Microsoft Teams

In the next step you'll create a resource account for your Teams Rooms console. Before you do that, you need to purchase a license because each resource account you want to associate with a Teams Rooms console needs a Teams Rooms license.

Follow the steps below to purchase a Teams Rooms Basic or Teams Rooms Pro license that you can assign to a resource account in a later step. For a comparison between the Teams Rooms Basic and Teams Rooms Pro licenses, see Teams Meeting Room Licensing Update.

Note

If you have multiple Teams Rooms consoles, we recommend that you purchase a Teams Rooms Pro license for each of your consoles. The Teams Rooms Pro license enables more advanced remote management and analytics for Teams Rooms, enabling you to create a more consistent and robust Teams Rooms and meeting experience.

1. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and log in with an account that has global admin permissions.
2. In the admin center, go to the Billing > Purchase services page.
3. On the Purchase services page, type in Teams Rooms in the search box and press enter.
4. Select Details under either Teams Rooms Basic or Teams Rooms Pro.
5. Select the number of licenses you want to purchase in Select license quantity.
6. Select how often you want to be billed under Select billing frequency and then click Buy.

Note

You can purchase up to 25 Teams Rooms Basic licenses. Any additional licenses you purchase beyond 25 must be Teams Rooms Pro licenses.

You can purchase a Teams Rooms Basic license for a Teams Rooms console and later change the license for that console to Teams Rooms Pro. First make sure you have an available Teams Rooms Pro license and then follow the instructions in Change the apps and services a user has access to.
