Creating a team in Microsoft Teams

Creating a team in Microsoft Teams

1. Choose to create a team from scratch. Make it private to control membership, then give it a name and a brief description.
2. Add members now, or skip and add them later from the Team's options. Search for members already in your organization, or enter an email address to add someone as a guest — guests can be given a display name after being added.

Every new Team starts with a General channel for conversation and file sharing.

Add more channels

Create additional channels for specific projects or sub-groups:

1. Select the three dots next to the Team name.
2. Select Add channel.
3. Name and describe the channel, and set privacy limits if the channel should be restricted to specific members.

Further learning

Microsoft maintains an extensive video training library covering more advanced Teams usage — a good resource once you've outgrown the basics above.
