Using teams as a saas conferencing solution
FilipGr Nothing stops a Teams user having multiple overlapping meetings, each have their own separate dial in code etc.
The most elegant solution would be to give all your users Teams and Exchange Calendars, then use an app that calls the graph API to schedule meetings, inviting others as necessary.

StevenC365thanks for the quick reply.
I guess there is still a limit to how many simultaneous calls that would be? Been trying to google an answer, 4 seems to be some sort of limit but its rather unclear.
Creating teams accounts for everyone would be quite expensive. We have thousands of users but very sparse use. You might do 10 meetings for a specific project, but then months can pass before anything happens again.

FilipGr There is no stated limit, maybe test for your self but I don't expect there to be one.
If your users aren't licensed they they will be joining the meeting as a guest user each time, this probably undesirable and not very secure. For example your meetings will need to be configured to be entirely open, no one waits in a lobby as there isn't anyone you can identify as a valid user. Chat will be complex, lots of things won't work right.
Imagine all the other services you can cancel, just move everything to Microsoft 365. Files to OneDrive, Email to Exchange, etc. etc.
