10 Jul Discovering the Benefits of Microsoft Teams Premium
In this article, we will go over why you should take advantage of the power of Microsoft Teams Premium. We’ll also take a look at some of the key comparisons between the standard iterations of Microsoft Teams and Teams Premium, to help show exactly how much better the premium version is, as well as share a few handy Teams Premium tips.
Key Features of Microsoft Teams Premium
AI-Powered Meeting Capabilities
Microsoft Teams Premium lets you take advantage of OpenAI’s GPT to be able to intelligently recap your meetings, letting you empower your meetings with intelligent suggestions and insights as you move through the meeting recap.
You can also use AI-generated chapters and speaker timelines in your recap to jump about the meeting easily, making sure that you can quickly access the parts of your meeting that you need to without having to scan through and find the right speaker.
Teams Premium also has real-time AI translation captions, meaning that you can translate meetings with people who speak another language in real-time. This will help break down a multitude of barriers for international companies and organisations that want to work with organisations from different countries.
Safeguarding Sensitive Information
Information protection is vital for keeping your organisation’s secrets and data safe. After all, nothing important must make its way out of your organisation, as doing so could have lots of detrimental effects on your business.
Microsoft Teams Premium allows you to safeguard this information using ‘advanced meeting protection’. This gives you access to features like watermarking and the ability to limit who can record, as well as the ability to run advanced encryption during your meetings — at the cost of some advanced features.
You can also add sensitivity labels to Teams meetings, meaning that everyone is aware of the sensitivity of any given meeting.
Improved Collaboration Tools
Collaboration is at the heart of the modern workplace, and meetings revolve around them. It gives you access to advanced controls, tools, and other settings that can make collaboration far easier than ever before.
Scheduling tools like appointments and pre-registration, as well as advanced meeting management tools, let you easily ensure that your meeting can be as well-suited as possible, and lets you prepare to tailor your presentations to your attendees.
