This article talks about how to add a team in O365
Team in Office 365
Team in O365 is a digital workspace for communication and collaboration, built on a Microsoft 365 group. It brings together people and information, offering features like chat, video conferencing, file sharing, and task management to help groups get work done. Creating a Team automatically provides a SharePoint site for document storage, a shared mailbox, and other connected Microsoft 365 services, providing a central hub for a project, department, or community.
Steps to create Team in O365
Login to admin portal : https://admin.microsoft.com/
Navigate to Teams and groups –> Active teams and groups –> click on add a Team
Give a proper name and hit next
Add owners (Team owners can add or delete members, edit team details, and delete conversations) then hit Next
Add members :Members have access to everything in the team, including chats, channels, and files. Team members can invite guests to join your team, but they can’t edit any team details –> then hit next
Set Team email address and privacy settings ( private team or public team ) –> then hit next
Let me explain : a public team is visible to everyone in the organization, and anyone can join without permission, while a private team is restricted to members added by the team owner, with access to its content and discussions limited to approved participants. Public teams are suitable for broad knowledge sharing or common interests, whereas private teams are for projects or departments requiring more confidentiality and controlled access to information
Review and finish adding team –> add team
New team created
It can be seen in Teams admin center
You can see it under –> Resources –> sites
