How to Find and join a teams
Desktop
Join a specific team
- If you go to the Teams page, select the Teams tab and then select Join a team or create a new one at the bottom of that page.
- At the top of the page, there is a search box at the top right corner where you can type in a specific team name.
- You can find a team by searching for it, and once you find the team that you want to join, select Join team when you find it.
If you wish to join a public team immediately, you can do so, but if you wish to join a private team, you will first have to request membership and then await approval by the team’s owner before you can access the team.
The command box that is located just above Teams can also be used to see a list of all your recommended teams if you type /join in the command box when you are logged in. You can request to join a team by selecting it from the list below.
Request to add a member
As an existing member of the team, adding someone to the team you wish to add to is as simple as selecting More options Add member under the team you would like to add to and then clicking on Add member.
It is really easy to send a request if you type the names of the people that you would like to send a request to, and then simply click the button “Send request”. A notification will be sent to the team owner letting them know that there is a request pending on their team.
Mobile
In the app, begin by tapping Teams in the bottom-left of the screen. When you tap Teams, you will be able to create a new team or join an existing one in the top right corner of the screen.
