About Teams Premium

What is Teams Premium?

Microsoft Teams Premium (Premium) is an add-on to the Teams license available with your UWaterloo Microsoft 365 account.

Cost: This add-on costs $120 USD/person/year.

Some features of Teams require a Teams Premium license:

Beginning on or around March 3, 2023:

• Personalized timeline markers that are only available to you (e.g. when you joined or left a meeting, in a meeting recording.)

Beginning on or around April 3, 2023:

• Translation of live captions to languages other than English. (An instructor would require a Teams Premium to use this but not the students of a class)
