Activate teams for part of my organisation

Saw the event on MS teams, which looks very promising. I know we can enable it in our tenant now, but is there any way we can limit who this is released to, rather than releasing to all in our tenant...

    I have the answer, it's in the (very good) admin https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Frequently-asked-questions-about-Microsoft-Teams-%E2%80%93-Admin-Help-05cbe533-2181-4e95-a4b0-52cd7695fafc, which I have just come across:

     

    Can I enable Microsoft Teams for only a portion of the organization?

     

    At this time, user-level control is not yet available. Administrators can control access only at the organization level. We expect this capability to be available soon . After it is available, you can turn on or turn off the Microsoft Teams license for individual users.

     

    That's great to know the feature can be expected soon.

Same question from me and it's really important. If we couldn't get it enabled for a limited number of users, we might not be able to give it a proper test.

Same as Filip Krivoshiev, we need to just enable it for selective individuals to evaluate it.  Is that possible? Incidentally, will Teams have its own licence, as a way of controlling access and visibility? Thanks.
