Microsoft Teams-specific things to know

Teams subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or organization setup. These tips cover common situations.

Check if it's part of Office 365
Many Teams subscriptions are bundled with Microsoft 365. Cancelling Teams might cancel your entire Office suite, affecting Word, Excel, and Outlook access.
Organizational accounts are different
If Teams was provided by your employer or school, you can't cancel it yourself. Contact your IT administrator to remove your access.
Free version stays available
Cancelling Teams premium doesn't delete your account. You can still use the free version with basic features and limited storage.

Important: Read before cancelling

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who manages your subscription

If Teams appears in your Microsoft account subscriptions, you can cancel it. If not, it's likely managed by your organization and you'll need to contact IT support.

2. Consider impact on other Microsoft services

Teams is often bundled with Microsoft 365. Cancelling might affect your access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and Outlook depending on your plan.

3. Data export deadline

Download any important files, chat history, or recordings before cancelling. Some data may be automatically deleted after your subscription ends.

Other options to consider
