      • Private Teams aren’t open for everyone to join them and Team owners are the only ones that can add members to them. These Teams won’t show up in search results or in the Teams gallery.

      • Public Teams can be seen by everyone from the Teams gallery, and people can join them without getting approval from a Team owner.

  3. Click Apply.

Create Teams in Bulk

Apart from creating Teams individually, you can also create multiple Teams in bulk by importing a pre-configured CSV file. To create Teams in bulk, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Teams tab, click Bulk create.

  2. In the Bulk create panel:

    1. Begin by choosing a tenant and then clicking Download to download the bulk creation template. Each tenant's bulk creation template can be tailored within the Bulk Creation Templates module. If your tenant has not customized the template, configure one or select Common template.

    2. A ZIP file will be downloaded to your local device with both a template and an Instruction for template file. Refer to the instructions and complete your configurations in the CSV template.

    3. Click Select files or simply drop the completed file to the Upload the CSV file section in the panel.

    4. Click Create. A process will start to create the Teams. You can then check the creation result and download the process report in Process center.
