Audio-Conferencing lets users and third-party attendees call in to meetings from their phones. The Audio-Conferencing is included with Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E5 licenses, and is available as an add-on for all other Office 365 products that include Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams. The license is only required for the meeting organizer. Non-licensed attendees - including those outside of the organization - can attend an Audio-Conference meeting, up to 250 attendees.
