Which license is needed for Teams custom summary templates

We are testing out the AI features for summarizing our meetings.

According to the Roadmap the feature of custom summary templates is still being rolled out. So far I am missing the respective buttons for creating my templates according o the documentation.

Is this due to the still ongoing roll out, OR maybe depending on the license? I could not find a clear definition, which license would be needed for this new feature.

We are using teams premium in a test phase. Does one need a purchased license or an additional Copilot license?

Thanks for your help.

    Custom recap summary templates in Microsoft Teams require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

    The feature is described as:

    “View meeting recaps in your desired format with customized recap summaries, available with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.”

    Teams Premium alone does not unlock custom summary templates; a Copilot license is needed in addition to any Teams licensing. If the buttons for creating templates are missing, it can be due to either:

    1. The feature still rolling out to the tenant, and/or
    2. The absence of a Microsoft 365 Copilot license on the user account.

    Once a Microsoft 365 Copilot license is assigned and the rollout reaches the tenant, the customization options for recap summaries become available.
