Access to team sites
Microsoft Teams is available in the following Office 365 commercial suites:
Office 365 Business Essentials
Office 365 Business Premium
Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, and E5 plans. (E4 before retirement)
All Office 365 Education suite licensing:
Office 365 Education
Office 365 Education Plus
Office 365 Education E5
Office 365 Education E3 customers who purchased E3 prior to its retirement.
Limits
500,000 teams per tenant
10 owners per team
User can create 250 teams
999 members per team
20 members per private chat
80 people per meeting
When a new team is created, a new Office 365 Group is also created, including the associated group SharePoint site, mailbox, and OneNote notebook. If a team is activated on an existing group, the existing site, mailbox, and notebook are used in place.
For each new team, a single channel named General is also created, along with the associated SharePoint folder and OneNote notebook section.
You can edit or delete your chat messages during the first 24 hours after they are posted. In the upper-right corner of the chat message, click or tap the More options icon (…), and then choose Edit or Delete.
The Meetings icon on the app bar is currently enabled only for users whose mailbox is on Office 365 multi-tenant and a select few dedicated users whose mailbox location can be discovered using Exchange auto discovery.
The group email conversation remains in Microsoft Outlook. In Microsoft Teams, Office 365 Group members can use chat to communicate in a separate service within Teams.
Microsoft Teams team names appear in the Outlook global address book
You can add email distribution lists and mail-enabled security groups as members of a team. But, if you later add more members to the distribution list or security group, those members are not automatically added to the team. You must add the new members separately or add the distribution list or security group to the team again. (If you add the distribution list again, deduplication makes sure members are added only once.)
The team continues to function as-is. All data remains and all existing users can continue to use the team. If the removed user was the only owner of the team, an IT admin can retake control of the team by going through the Office 365 admin center and adding
themselves or someone else as the team owner. The team recognizes that change. Any connectors added to the team by the removed user do stop working. Scheduled meetings continue to work because they're on the group calendar. Files and conversations are retained.
Create teams for private groups of less than 1,000 users. When creating a new team in Microsoft Teams, an owner of an existing private Office 365 Group has an option to use the membership in the Office 365 Group to create the team. Users can add their existing SharePoint and OneNote files by adding a tab for SharePoint and merging OneNote files.
For the full Microsoft Teams experience, every user should be enabled for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Office 365 Group creation. Users' Exchange mailboxes can be hosted online or on-premises. Users hosted on Exchange Online or Exchange Dedicated vNext can use all the features of Microsoft Teams. They can create and join teams and channels, create and view meetings, modify user profile pictures, add and configure connectors, tabs, and bots, and they can chat and call.

There are Microsoft Teams samples in our GitHub repositories for you to clone or download:
'Maps' tab sample. This is the simple example that is used in this documentation.
Simple Todo List tab sample. This Node.js sample shows how easy it is to convert an existing web app into a tab.
Access from the Microsoft Teams client is blocked, but data available through other clients and services is still available, such as files via SharePoint and OneDrive. All data remains in place unless the teams are explicitly deleted.
