Audio Conferencing

Audio Conferencing is an add-on to Microsoft Teams that allow users to join meetings by dialing a number from their phones. This feature is included with the Office 365 E5 plan, but on Office 365 E1 and E3, it is sold separately.

Audio Conferencing comes in handy in a variety of scenarios, such as the following:

  • When the meeting is audio only.
  • The user doesn’t have access to a computer or a mobile phone with the Microsoft Teams app installed.
  • The network bandwidth is not good enough for audio to be used.

The custom license for Audio Conferencing is only necessary for those users who will schedule meetings. Users attending meetings are not required to have the same license.
