How To: Create a Team in Microsoft Teams

Learn how to create a team in Microsoft Teams for a department, committee, or project at North Central University.

1

Open Teams

Select Teams, then Join or create a team (or the + icon).

2

Create the team

Select Create a team, then From scratch.

3

Choose privacy

Pick Private for almost every NCU team, so only members can see it.

4

Name it clearly

Use a name others will recognize, like the department or committee name.

5

Add members and a second owner

Add members, then make at least one other person an owner.

Before creating a new team, check whether one already exists for your group. Duplicate teams split files and conversations.

As the creator, you're an owner. See Team Owner Responsibilities at NCU.
