Microsoft Teams Premium - Everything You Need To Know

As businesses increasingly rely on remote work, video conferencing has become an essential tool for communication and collaboration. But with this reliance comes the need for enhanced security, customization, and advanced features to truly make the most of the virtual meeting experience. That's where Teams Premium comes in - an add-on license that offers a range of features to enhance your Teams meetings and events.


Protected Meetings

Safeguard Your Confidential Discussions

Protecting sensitive information shared in meetings is critical, which is why Teams Premium offers enhanced security features for protected meetings. Sensitivity labels provide extended capabilities for controlling meeting settings, including lobby, chat, chat copy, presentation, and recording functions. With watermarking, enforced through a sensitivity label, email addresses of meeting participants are displayed to protect confidential information. And for meetings that require a higher level of protection, end-to-end encryption, also enforced through a sensitivity label, provides increased security.


Custom Meetings

Create a Consistent and Branded Experience

Every business has its own unique needs, and Teams Premium provides additional features for customizing meetings to meet those needs. Meeting templates enable control of meeting settings normally controlled by the organizer, ensuring a consistent and compliant meeting experience across your organization. Meeting themes allow you to extend your visual identity across the meeting experience, and custom meeting backgrounds provide the ability to create and define backgrounds specific to your organization. Custom together mode scenes, also available with Teams Premium, allow you to create, customize, or accept custom scenes for meetings that are then available to your end users.


Premium Events

Take Your Webinars to the Next Level

Whether you're hosting a training session or a product launch, webinars are a powerful tool for reaching a larger audience. Teams Premium provides an advanced webinar experience with the Teams Events policy, including functionality for meeting hosters and organizers such as terms and conditions custom questions, presenter bios, and the ability to present a customized visual webinar experience with a banner, logo, and predefined color. The policy also provides advanced registration capabilities, including manual approval, waitlist, and registration date and time limit, and registration overview and management.


Virtual Appointments

Streamline Your Business-to-Customer Meetings

Virtual appointments have become increasingly important for businesses looking to streamline their customer interactions. With Teams Premium, advanced virtual appointment capabilities include SMS notifications, custom waiting rooms, a queue of scheduled and on-demand appointments, and analytics to help you better understand and manage your appointments.


Overall, Teams Premium provides a range of features to enhance your Teams meetings and events, from safeguarding your confidential discussions to creating a consistent and branded experience, taking your webinars to the next level, and streamlining your business-to-customer meetings. With Teams Premium, you can truly unlock the full potential of video conferencing for your business. To see a full feature comparison, visit Microsoft's page here.
