This post was originally published on this site

Background

Microsoft recently announced that they would offer a free Microsoft 365 Audio Conferencing package for up to 1 year to eligible customers in this blog post published in September 2020. This offer is applicable for both customers on an Enterprise Agreement, web direct, and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) licensing. This offer went live on the 1st of October for CSP customers. In this blog post, I am going to show you how to claim the free licenses.

The license

You might be wondering what the Audio Conferencing add-on does? This blog post covers what it is but, in short, it allows you to add a dial-in conference number to Microsoft Teams meetings. Useful for people who don’t have access to a device with Teams installed or an internet connection not capable of supporting VoIP.

Purchase the license

First, log into the Office 365 admin portal https://admin.microsoft.com and follow the instructions below. Billing, Purchase Services, Add-Ons
