Microsoft plans to introduce in December 2022 in preview a new "Teams Premium" add-on with more personalization, AI functionality and security features built-in. The company also announced on October 12, the first day of its Ignite 2022 conference, that its promised Teams Mesh avatars are now available in private preview.

The Teams Premium add-on will include features that Microsoft officials said will be of interest to all kinds of meeting participants and organizers -- whether they're engaging in 1-on-1s, virtual appointments, or town halls and webinars.

Teams Premium features will begin to roll out in December 2022 as a part of Teams Premium preview, with general availability scheduled for February 2023. (Availability of new AI capabilities, such as intelligent meetings, will begin rolling out in the first half of 2023.)  At this point, Microsoft execs are estimating the Teams Premium add-on will cost $10 per user per month once it's generally available.
