To christen the launch ofMicrosoft’s Premium edition of Teams, the company is stuffing some previously licensed versions of features behind the new offering’s paywall.

In February, Microsoft plans to flip a switch and move over a handful of features that have been prominent through Teams licenses to its new Teams Premium license.

The news follows a month-long trial period of Teams Premium that offered users a taste of new features for the communications platform that included live translation of 40 different languages, custom meeting templates, end-to-end encryption, and more.

In a little less than a month, regular Teams users will need to figure out how to get back the following:

Per Microsoft’s licensing guide for Teams, users of regular Teams will retain its Teams Premium leveraged features for 30 days following the transition, at which point, the features become a Premium edition exclusive.

For users who were highly dependent on the siphoned feature set, Microsoft suggest admins purchase the Premium add-on and assign Teams Premium licenses for that unfortunate group.

Admins can pick up a Microsoft Teams Premium license for roughly $10 per user starting in Feburary and gain access to content watermarking, labels during meetings, and user-based restrictions among other features.
