In the case of a new Microsoft 365 team or group, you are starting with a clean slate, and you get to decide how your team is organized and set up, if you do not already have a Microsoft 365 group or team.

Whenever your team is created, you will be assigned a Microsoft 365 group that will contain your team inbox, calendar, and a SharePoint site within Outlook, as well as OneNote included in the Microsoft 365 group.

Note: As a manager, you may be able to restrict the creation of teams within your organization. Your IT admin can assist you with creating a team if you are unable to do so or need to disable team creation. 

Create a team from scratch:

  1. At the bottom of your teams list, you will see the option for joining or creating a team, which can be found on the left side of the app.
  2. On the left side you will see a card named Create a team. When you hover over that card, you will be able to choose Create a team.
  3. From scratch is the option that you should choose.
  4. The first thing that you need to do is decide what type of team you want this to be:• If you wish to limit access to certain content and conversations, you may choose the Private option.

Choose Public if you would like your community or topic to be open to everyone within your organization.

  1. It is optional to include a description for your team in addition to naming it.
  2. Once you have completed the steps, select Create when you are finished.

Tip: There will be an option for you to create an organization-wide team if you’re a global admin. When you would like all of the employees in your organization to be automatically added into the system, these are great options.

What to do next 

You are the owner of the team because you are the one who created it. Invite people to join your team’s channels by creating a few channels for them to join. You can take a closer look at the capabilities of Team owners, members, and guests in order to gain a better understanding of the user roles and permissions that they have.

Mobile

  1. You can find Teams in the upper right corner of the app after you swipe up from the bottom, then at the bottom of the app, you will find it at the bottom. You will be brought to the page where you can manage your teams by clicking this link.
  2. Creating a new team is as simple as tapping +
  3. In order for you to describe this team, you should give it a name, decide what level of privacy it should have, and decide what classification should be applied to the data.
  4. The new team you have created can be joined by individuals or entire contact groups.

Notes: 

  • You can restrict who is allowed to create teams in your organization. It would be a good idea to contact your IT administrator if you are unable to create a team or if you need to disable the creation of teams.
  • If you are the global administrator of your organization, perhaps you would find it interesting to consider creating a global admin team that will include everyone in your company as a member.
