Department Teams vs Other Teams in Microsoft Teams

Every North Central University department has an official department team in Microsoft Teams. It's where your department's everyday work and files belong. Anyone can also create other teams for projects, committees, or groups.

Keep department work in the department team

If department work or files ended up in another team, a chat, or someone's OneDrive, move them back to your department team. That way they stay with the department when people change roles or leave. See Keep Department Files in Teams, Not Your Personal OneDrive.

Only some people in your department should see certain files? Use a private channel in the department team. See How To: Limit Who Can See Files in a Team.
