Here we will demonstrate how to create your Team so you can start managing your group and Projects!

In the teams app make sure you have the “Teams” option selected on the far left Column. From there you’ll click the “Join or Create a team” link at the bottom left of the application.

From there you’ll follow along with the prompts. Here we are creating a Team from scratch and making it private so we can control who is in the Team. Name your Team and give it a brief description

The next prompt will have you add members to the Team. You could skip this temp and do it later in the Team options but lets add some members now

Search for members already in your organization to add, or put in someones email to add them as a guest. You can then edit also the edit the guest and give them a name.

Now that your Team is created your group can get started! You’ll notice that there is already a “General” sub-channel created for your Team to use. Channels like these are used to start conversation or even upload files to share with your team.
​
Create more sub-channels for specific projects or groups to work together on! To do this, click on the 3 dots next to your Team name to show more options, and then select the “Add channel” option. It will now prompt you to name and describe your new channel. If you’d like you can set privacy limits as well to limit who can interact in the new channel.

These are just some of the basics that will allow you to better work together and accomplish the goals you have set out for the group. Keep experimenting to create your Team as your own and to better suit what you’ll be working on!
