Sep 07, 2021

Topic Overview

Within Teams it is possible to create a Team which provides a "hub of collaboration" to a group of individuals.  Collaboration through Teams offers threaded discussion, file sharing/Office document co-editing, instant/ad-hoc meetings and support for many third party tools.

Creation Process

 

  • Click the 'Join or create Team button'

    • For Grid View the button is located in the top right of the screen

    • For List View the button is at the bottom left of the screen



  • Choose 'Create a team'



  • When prompted, choose the type of Team you want to create

    • Choose a team type to collaborate in Microsoft Teams [External Link]

    • Class, PLC and Staff Teams are created with a customized OneNote

      • Staff Teams are best for use by a department

      • Other Teams for general purpose

      • Only Faculty and Staff can create a "Class" and "PLC" type of Team



  • When prompted you can add users to the team using the People Picker.  Enter partial or full name, NetID or email address (external users)



  • For each user added to the team, assign their role as Owner or Member

    • We recommend at least two owners are configured in each Team
