Microsoft is rolling out a new feature enabling administrators to discover, monitor and manage Microsoft Teams Premium on a single page in the Teams Administration Center (TAC). This enhancement aims to simplify the administrator experience and provide centralized management for Teams Premium. Prior to this update, administrators had to navigate multiple portals to manage licenses, view usage reports and configure user settings and policies. Now, administrators can :
Manage licenses: Administrators will be able to view license information, assign licenses to users, monitor license usage, and review and process end-user license requests.
Monitor usage: Administrators will be able to track feature usage with the Teams Premium usage report, and identify opportunities to increase adoption.
Manage settings: Feature Advisor will provide administrators with a single view of ALL settings, as well as the status of Teams Premium feature configuration and deployment. It will highlight pending actions needed to make full use of Teams Premium features.
Review your Teams Premium subscription: the new experience will also provide detailed information on Teams Premium licenses, such as total number, allocated number, unallocated number and license requests. It will also allow administrators to allocate licenses already purchased from the Microsoft 365 Administration Center.
Only global administrators can perform license management tasks, such as allocating licenses and approving or rejecting end-user license requests.
This feature does not change any aspects of Teams Premium, but provides an additional method of managing it in the Teams admin center.
Availability
Deployment of the new dashboard will begin in mid-February 2025, with completion scheduled for early March 2025.
