Teams on Ipad. Group meetings and calendar
StevenC365 Yes I know. My point is: I'm a teacher in a small ESL school and I have private students too, more or less like a freelancer, let's say it like this. It wouldn't make sense for me to buy the full business software version, especialy because I can use the features I need on the free PC app. Since things are evolving to a more portable life and ipads can pretty much replace computers nowadays, there should be a version of the ipad app with the same capabilities of the PC free version, and it doesn't even have to be free, It could be a version in-between for those who, like me, pay for the personal or family experince, especially because I think skype, which is what I use today is bound to be discontinued. There is no equally capable ipad app version as the free app on pc. The best I can get (which is still missing the video and call button, but there is calendar) is if I pay as if I were a business, it's super expensive for a freelancer, so I guess I'm stuck having to iniciate the meeting via PC then I can go join it on my ipad. Seems like a ridiculous waste of time. And again I'm not asking for a free upgrade, I'd love to pay for it, as long as I can get it as part of the personal and family pack, not needing to buy 25 licenses and pay a huge price.
I'm not sure I understand, it sounds like you are using different accounts with different abilities, more or less anything that can be done on a PC can also be done using the Teams app on the iPad.
I don't think Microsoft 365 Business has any minimum order quantity, starts from $5 a month https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business
There are no plan to discontinue Skype, it's still widely used around the world. Microsoft are going to introduce a more consumer focused version of Teams later this year, as described in the article here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/03/30/introducing-new-microsoft-365-personal-family-subscriptions/
