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?

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

- TobiasistschonvergebenCopper ContributorHey, this describes what happens when you create an org-wide team. However, i cannot create or-wide teams. Thats the problem.
- 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.

How big is your organisation? If you have over 10,000 licensed members you won’t be able to create org-wide teams.
There’s also a limit of 5 org-wide teams per tenant.
Here’s some more info on limitations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams?source=recommendations- TobiasistschonvergebenCopper ContributorHey, we are way beyond this limit, we have less than 400 Users and no or-wide team so far
