Teams Premium Licensing

Teams Premium is a $10 USD per-user add-on license for users already licensed with a base plan that includes Microsoft Teams.  For example:

  • Microsoft 365 Business Basic/Standard/Premium
  • Microsoft 365 F1/F3/E3/E5
  • Office 365 F3/E1/E3/E5

NOTE

The Microsoft 365 E5 base plan does not include Teams Premium.  You still need to purchase the Teams Premium add-on license for users assigned a Microsoft 365 E5 license.

There is no license requirement for Virtual Appointments external participants.
