For this article, we will choose the latter option.

Microsoft Teams then asks you to choose whether your team is private or public.

 

Choose what kind of team you create

 

If you choose "Public", members of your organization will be able to see and join, and if you choose "Private", the team will not be visible and can only be reached with an invitation.

Once this choice is made, you can now give a name and description to your team, and finally create it by pressing the "Create" button.

 

Name and describe your team

 

Once your team is created, Microsoft Teams then asks you to add more team members. Type the name of your collaborators or a newsgroup in the search field and you can invite them by clicking "Add" after selecting them.

 

Add members to your team

 

If you don't want to invite anyone, just click "Skip".

If you have invited members, you can set up their role by using tags and choosing whether they are simple members or group owners.

Once you're done adding members, click the "Close" button and your Microsoft Teams team is created!
