How to Create a teams from scratch in Microsoft Teams

ByCorporate Guider Home, Zoom

Desktop

When you create a Microsoft 365 team or group for the first time, you have a clean slate to work with, and you can choose which way to set up and organize the team.

With the creation of your team, you will also receive complimentary access to the Microsoft 365 group, which has all the features of office 365, including an Outlook inbox and calendar for each member of the team, a SharePoint site, and a OneNote account.

Note: The team creators in your organization can be restricted by your organization. You may need to consult your IT admin if you are unable to create teams or if you want to turn off team creation. 

Create a team from scratch:

  1. Choose Teams on the left side of the app, then select Join or create a team at the bottom of your teams list.
  2. Choose Create a team from the card that appears when you hover your mouse over it.
  3. From scratch is the option that you should choose.
  4. It is up to you to decide what kind of team you are going to create, depending on your goals. For instance:

    When you select the Private option, you will be able to restrict the content and conversation to just those individuals within your specified group of friends.

Choosing Public as the setting will allow all employees in your organization to be able to join the community.

  1. Please provide a name and a description for your team, if you wish.
  2. Once you have completed the form, select the Create button.

Tip: As a global administrator, you’ll be able to create a team that spans the entire organization if you click this option. You can use these when you want to add employees to your organization automatically, which is great if you want to do so at the beginning of the process. 

What to do next 

Since you are the one who created the team, you are the owner of the team. Create some channels for your team and invite your friends to join it. You can read more about the capabilities of team owners, members, and guests inside Teams, to get a deeper understanding of what they can do.

The number of teams you can own per account is 250, so feel free to create more teams.

Mobile

  1. Upon landing on the app’s home screen, you will be able to tap Teams to open it. Once you tap Teams, you will be able to access the top right corner of the app. The Manage teams page will appear after clicking this button.
  2. Creating a new team is as simple as tapping the + button
  3. The team can be titled, described, with its privacy level (or no privacy level) specified, and data classifications specified.
  4. Your new team can consist of one person or even a large number of people from your contacts list.

Notes: 

  • The ability to create teams can be restricted by your organization. It is recommended that you consult your IT administrator if you are not able to create a team or if you need to disable team creation.
  • The org-wide team will allow you to invite everyone in the organization automatically if you are a global administrator, so it might be worth your time to create such a team.
