Need some details?

Whereas the Audio Conferencing per-user license offer includes dial-in usage and some dial-out usage, Audio Conferencing pay-per-minute allows you to pay for all of your Audio Conferencing usage on a per-minute basis without paying for a per-user monthly license. With this license, all dial-in and dial-out calls are charged on a per-minute basis, including:

  • Inbound calls to toll Audio Conferencing numbers of your organization.

  • Inbound calls to toll-free Audio Conferencing numbers of your organization.

  • Outbound calls placed to external phone numbers from within a meeting of your organization.

Note

You can find the dial-in and dial-out rates associated to these types of calls by reviewing the Audio Conferencing rates section in Audio Conferencing.

Pay-per-minute requires your organization to have Communications Credits set up. If you want more details, see Set up Communications Credits for your organization and/or Microsoft Teams add-on licensing.

To enable Audio Conferencing pay-per-minute for users in your organization, see Try or purchase Audio Conferencing in Microsoft Office 365 or Office 365.

Why is it best for you?

  • Pay per-minute are only charged on a per-minute basis for each inbound or outbound call placed by each attendee during a scheduled meeting (rates vary for toll or toll-free call and by destination) instead of using the Teams application in a mobile device or PC.

  • Capability to manage cost since admins can control to restrict the types of dial-outs (international and domestic) that can be done from the meetings of an organizer. See Outbound calling restriction policies for Audio Conferencing and user PSTN calls.

  • If you have Audio Conferencing pay-per-minute licenses, you don't have to assign Communications Credits licenses separately to each user specifically for Audio Conferencing usage (you might still need to assign them for other services).

  • Control and monitor pay-per minute charges by using Communications Credits.

  • More flexibility in pricing for customers who don't need all users on a subscription basis.

  • Enable Audio Conferencing pay-per-minute along with a monthly subscription of E5 or a standalone Audio Conferencing subscription, both services continue to work the same way. Changes have no effect on the operations of Audio Conferencing or Communications Credits.
