Org-Wide Team in Tenant with A5 Licenses?

Hi all,

 

we have a tenant with A5 licenses. I configured my global admin to use one of them and made sure Teams is active as app.

 

However i am unable to create an org-wide team, the option just doesnt show up. Is this not an option for tenants using education licenses?

 

Best Tobias

    When an organization-wide team is created, all Global Administrators and Teams Administrators are added as team owners and all active users are added as team members. Team members can't leave an organization-wide team, but team owners can manually add or remove users if needed. When Teams automatically adds or removes someone, a notification is sent to the General channel.

    Unlicensed users are also added to the team. The first time an unlicensed user signs in to Teams, they're assigned a Microsoft Teams Exploratory license. To learn more about the Exploratory license, check out Manage the Microsoft Teams Exploratory license.

    The following types of accounts won't be added to your organization-wide team:

    • Accounts that are blocked from sign-in
    • Guests
    • Resource or service accounts (for example, accounts associated with auto attendants and call queues)
    • Room or equipment accounts
    • Accounts backed by a shared mailbox

        did you try to create a normal team and convert it to wide-teams ?

        Convert an existing team to an organization-wide team. Go to the team name, and click More options > Edit team.
