Microsoft Teams Premium—the smart place to work. Make every meeting more intelligent, engaging, and protected with Microsoft Teams Premium.
Microsoft Teams Premium licenses aren't a replacement for Teams licenses. Users must have both a Teams license and a Teams Premium license for Teams and Teams Premium features to work properly.
Microsoft Teams Premium – Protection and Advanced Management:
Microsoft Teams Premium provides more ways to safeguard and monitor users' Teams experiences with the following key features:
Advanced collaboration analytics - View external collaboration activity data on your users, teams, federated domains, channels, and guests.
Audio quality alerts - Set up alerts for in-progress meeting audio issues and get notified immediately when your specified users experience issues.
Custom user policy packages - Create policy packages to simplify, streamline, and help provide consistency when managing policies for groups of users across your organization.
End-to-end encryption - Enforced through a sensitivity label, end-to-end encryption provides increased security for meetings that require a higher level of protection.
Hide attendee names - Meeting and webinar organizers can hide the names of attendees from other attendees in the stage, roster, and chat.
Manage what attendees see - Meeting organizers can decide whose avatars or video feeds to spotlight during a Teams meeting while others are hidden from view.

Microsoft Teams Premium – Premium Events:
Town halls bring interactive video streaming to a new level. Town halls are meant for one-to-many communications where the presenters, organizers, and co-organizers are leading the interactions. The audience participation is primarily to view and react to the content being shared.
Webinars provide a two-way interactive virtual event where the presenters deliver information to attendees. This format provides extra control for an organizer over the conversation and participants.
