Org-Wide Team in Tenant with A5 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

- 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.- Good Morning, its only giving me the options to edit the team to a private or public team. Org-Wide doesnt show up

The option doesn't exist for M365 Education users. I've been told we have to submit a feature request for Microsoft to hopefully add it.
Our organization has an A3 license, but I'm told it's only for M365 Enterprise (E3 and E5 plans). Not sure if Business users are able to use it or not.
