Create a new team

In Microsoft Teams, teams are collections of people, content, and tools used for projects or outcomes within an organization.

Teams can be created to be private to only invited users.
Teams can also be created to be public and open, and anyone within the organization can join.

For more specific information about Microsoft Teams, see the Microsoft documentation.

Use Cloud Commander to create new teams for your managed tenants from a single pane.
