 How to Create a team from a template in Microsoft Teams

ByCorporate Guider Home, Teams

Using a template, the same concept can be applied to the creation of new teams, instead of having to create new teams from scratch each time, by editing existing groups or teams.

Using a growing collection of predefined channels, tabs, and apps, you can quickly and easily set up a team by choosing from a growing library of templates to help you get started as quickly as possible without wasting any time.

Notes: 

  • A restriction can be placed on who can create a team within your organization. In case you have difficulty creating a team or if you need to turn off team creation altogether, you may wish to check with your administrator.
  • In Government Cloud Community (GCC), it is not possible to create teams directly from templates at the time of writing.

There are currently six different template types available. These include project management templates, event management templates, retail & food delivery templates, financial collaboration templates, government communications templates, healthcare templates, and more. More templates will be available on a regular basis. A custom template can be created for an organization by the admins as well.

How to create a new team from a template

  1. Select Teams from the menu on the left side. At the bottom of that list of teams, you will find two options: Join or create a team. You can either create a new team or join an existing team to create a new group.
  2. Then choose Create  team under Join or create  team in the menu.

  3. Click on the Select from a template link on the right side of the page. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a template you like for your new team. In our example, let’s take a look at the template that is available for managing events.

  4. After reviewing the list of channels and apps that your new team is going to use to begin with (these can be modified or changed at a later date), you will be able to select Start after you are finished reviewing them and then you will be able to launch them.

  5. There are two types of teams that can be created: Private or Public teams. Content and conversation can be shared within a private team only with members who are part of that team.

  6. Creating a new team is as simple as going to the end of the page and completing the form, giving it a name, adding a description, customizing the channels provided, clicking Create at the bottom of the form, and then you can begin working on it. The process of creating a team will begin as soon as you click this button.
