Guidance Needed on Microsoft 365 Subscription for Teams App Development

halo manav1430 ,

hmm...If you're building an app for Microsoft Teams and need access to the Teams admin center, you'll want to make sure you have the right subscription. Here’s what the recommendation:

1. Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 License: This option gives you full access to the Teams admin center, which is crucial for both development and managing Teams settings. It’s a solid choice if you're doing anything serious with Teams apps.

2. Microsoft 365 Developer Program: If the E3/E5 license seems like overkill, check out the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. It usually offers a free sandbox with an E5 license that’s perfect for testing and building apps. You can see if you're eligible and sign up here: https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/dev-program 365 Developer Program.

For a bit more background, you might want to check out https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-overview Overview and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/user-access Access to Teams.

Let me know if that clears things up!
