JAKARTA - Microsoft started a new business by moving some of the Microsoft Teams features to the Premium version, which is certainly more expensive but its advanced features are supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Some time ago, Microsoft presented a 30-day Teams Premium trial in December and users could try exclusive features such as direct translational text, Together Mode specifically and virtual appointment options.

However, according to a new Microsoft report planning to launch the Premium Teams next month, and after launching the company will move some features from regular Teams licenses to Teams Premium, forcing users to pay extra to still be able to use them.

Microsoft mengungkapkan perubahan ini dalam pembaruan panduan lisensi yang terlihat oleh The Register. Ternyatakan "berapa fitur Teams akan beralih dari lisensi Teams ke [a] lisensi Teams Premium" 30 hari setelah Teams Premium ditayangkan.

"After a grace period of 30 days, users will lose access to previously available features in Teams without the Premium Teams add-on, unless the admin buys and assigns a Premium Teams license to its users," Microsoft added in its license update.

The following is a complete list of affected features, quoted from The Verge, Thursday, January 12.

1. Text direct translation

2. Mark the timeline in Teams meeting recordings when users leave or join a meeting

3. Special organization of Together Mode scenes

4. virtual meeting promise: SMS notification

5. virtual meeting promise: organizational analytics at the admin Teams center

6. virtual meeting promise: scheduled queue appearance

For information, the Microsoft Teams Premium includes AI-supported smart features such as live translation, custom meeting branding, and advanced meeting protection. These Add-ons will include options for businesses to protect sensitive content with watermarks and labels during meetings or limit users from recording meetings and copying text from meeting chats.

It is claimed that the Premium Teams will be priced at $10 for IDR 152 thousand per month, and Microsoft said it would reveal a full price after Premium becomes available next month.
