July 11, 2024
Teams Premium
Teams Premium is designed for power users and organizations that heavily utilize Teams meetings. It is also beneficial for those enterprises that need enhanced meeting security due to business security requirements. Microsoft Teams enhances employee communication and collaboration, and many of the best features are only available on Teams Premium. This blog will serve as a guide to help you determine whether Teams Premium is right for your organization.
Teams Premium Security Features
As cyber threats become more prevalent and malicious actors become more sophisticated, security has never been more important. Teams Premium has several security features to help your organization remain safe and secure:
- Watermarking that will ensure you are identified as the owner of all content and material within your organization.
- End-to-end encryption for meetings and calls.
- Additional attendee controls such as who can record or transcribe meetings.
- Chat protection such as controlling or preventing copy and paste of materials shared in meetings.
- Sensitivity labels for meetings. Organizers can easily apply a sensitivity label to meeting invites from Outlook or Teams.

As the world shifts to a remote/hybrid working model, organizations must adapt and provide tools to facilitate this shift. Employees must have a way to connect and collaborate virtually. Teams Premium provides enhanced meeting functionality such as:
- Meeting templates that can control meeting options that previously fell to the person controlling the meeting. With templates, you can create consistent meeting experiences in your organization and help enforce compliance requirements and business rules.
- Branding or customized meeting lobbies, backgrounds, and together mode screens.
- Additional attendee controls. With Teams Premium, you have the option to manage what meeting attendees can see.
- Live translated captions.
Teams Premium Webinar and Town Hall Features
Webinars and Town Halls have also gained popularity following the shift to remote work. They offer lead generation opportunities and therefore having an engaging and smooth webinar experience is essential. Teams Premium offers advanced Webinar and Town Hall features like:
- Custom reminder emails to registrants.
- Waitlists, time limits for registering, and manual registrant approvals.
- Double attendee capacity for Town Halls.
- Increased capacity for simultaneous Town Halls.
- Q&A capacity of 20,000 attendees.
- Town Hall or Webinar insights that will help you help you plan for future events and understand the demographics of attendees.
Microsoft Mesh
Microsoft Mesh is a relatively new feature that allows you to create virtual reality worlds. Geographically dispersed teams can meet and collaborate in a mixed reality where they will appear as a digital representation of themselves. Teams Premium enables the use of customized Mesh spaces that are interactive and responsive to action.
Conclusion
Teams Premium is available for $10 per person monthly – a relatively affordable price. If your organization heavily relies on Microsoft Teams, it might be worth considering what adopting Premium could do for you.
Microsoft Teams, when used correctly, can have numerous benefits for an organization. The reality is, how we perform our work and where we perform our work is shifting. Adopting technologies to support the shift is essential to remaining competitive.
