What Office 365 license plan include Microsoft Teams subscription?

Microsoft Teams is a part of Office 365 subscriptions; however, there are many different Office 365 subscriptions available, and Teams has so many features such as, persistent chat, audio/video call/ meeting, phone call (PSTN), content sharing and so on, that makes some confusion. This blog post will give you an overview of what Office 365 subscription plan includes Teams and what are the add-on licenses available for Teams.

Caveat: I am neither Microsoft License expert, nor sell Microsoft licenses, this post specifically gives you some Teams license information. For enterprise license, need to contact Microsoft.
