The following opportunities are available to our small businesses as a way to connect with the Teams SMB product team on a regular basis:
- Teams Customer Council for SMBs (aka TCC)
- Description: Teams Engineering is extending a special invitation to customers and partners who have 2-300 employees and hold an active Microsoft 365 subscription. Join our Council to explore upcoming Teams scenarios and provide valuable feedback. This is a program that requires an NDA agreement (non-disclosure) to be included in Teams conversations and bi-weekly forum calls.
