Audio Conferencing Now Free?
I found this announcement here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/teams-add-on-licensing/microsoft-teams-add-on-licensing?tabs=education#need-help
"From now until May 31, 2022, customers can add Audio Conferencing to a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription for free for up to 12 months. Starting on March 1, 2022, Audio Conferencing functionality will be included in all Teams-inclusive Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses."
Does this apply to academic license holders? We are currently A3 and would like to have this ability.

- Here is the original announcement about price increases starting on March 1, 2022 and the fact that audio-conferencing will be included in several licenses going forward:

Here is another announcement in their partner community website, which has some more details about which licenses will get the included audio-conferencing:

It doesn't look like Education licenses are included.- Thanks for the information Kevin. Hopefully they will extend this to Ed customers as well.
