Setting Up a Conference Room Account in Microsoft Teams

I am seeking guidance regarding a setup issue I encountered while configuring a conference room account for Microsoft Teams. I currently have a Microsoft 365 Business Premium account and recently created a new user for our conference room. To enable Teams functionality, I assigned the following licenses to the account:

  • Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic
  • Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic without Audio Conferencing
  • Microsoft Teams Premium

I granted 3 of them as I just started to try whatever I could find :) 

However, when I logged into the Teams (using this new account) via the browser (https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/microsoft-teams/log-in), I received a message stating that I do not have an active Teams license (!) and was prompted to start a trial for Microsoft Teams Exploratory (is this yet another kind of license?). This has left me confused about the appropriate license configuration.

My goals are as follows:

  • Conference Room Account Requirements:
    I need an account within the Microsoft 365 admin center that can be used for our conference room, which includes:
    • A functional calendar.
    • The ability to manage meetings (e.g., mute and unmute attendees).

Could you please advise on:

  1. Which license or combination of licenses is required for a conference room account with these capabilities?
  2. How to properly configure the calendar within this account in Microsoft Teams? 

Thank you 

Cheers

Wojtek
