Many companies use Microsoft Teams for communication, collaboration, and file sharing. Some even create custom apps to make Teams work better for them. Microsoft Teams Premium could be the perfect solution for those wanting more personalization, intelligence, and security in virtual meetings.
What Makes Teams Premium Different from the Standard Version?
Here’s a look at what each version offers:
Microsoft Teams Standard:
- Host and join standard Teams meetings.
- Use live captions during meetings.
- Host webinars with up to 1,000 attendees.
- Broadcast town halls to up to 10,000 attendees.
- Host up to 15 town halls at once.
- Enjoy end-to-end encryption for one-on-one calls.
- Moderate meeting chats.
- Manage meeting lobbies.
Microsoft Teams Premium: As an add-on to the standard Teams license, Teams Premium provides extra features, including:
Intelligent Recap: This AI-powered tool takes notes during your meetings, interprets transcripts, suggests action items, and assigns them to specific people at the right time. It makes meetings more productive, whether you attend or miss them.
Generative AI for Live Captions: Teams Premium offers real-time translation into 40 spoken languages using AI. This helps participants who speak different languages and allows presenters to communicate in their preferred language while others see captions in theirs.
Custom Medium Branding: To reflect your brand, you can personalize your meeting lobby with custom backgrounds, themes, and colours. Teams Premium also supports custom group meeting settings and templates, making it easier to set up meetings with specific options, like controlling who can bypass the lobby, who can present, and whether attendees can use their microphones and cameras.
Enhanced Security: Teams Premium improves security using sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview. Choosing the right label enforces security policies and applies watermarks to shared content and camera feeds, preventing data loss and screen capture attempts. This, along with policies to block meeting recordings, ensure strong content protection.
Virtual Appointments: Manage client appointments better with streamlined setup, text reminders, and custom-branded virtual appointments accessible on mobile devices without the Teams app. Real-time appointment queuing and detailed analytics on usage trends, no-shows, and wait times further improve appointment management.
Webinars: Enhance your webinars with host and event management controls, like registration waitlists, manual approvals, and automated reminder emails. Use the virtual green room as a dedicated space for hosts and presenters to coordinate before the event, allowing them to chat, manage Q&A, and review content without distractions.
