- [Instructor] Here in Microsoft Teams,
the team is our basic organizational unit,
a group of people who work together.
We only have one team, it's our organization-wide team
and you note that from the icon
in the upper right-hand corner.
We're going to begin building out our team's collection
to create more teams that can work together.
And this is simply a reflection of the work
that's already going on in our organization.
We need to create a team for our Human Resources Department.
I'm going to click where it says Create or Join Team.
I'm not joining the team, I'm creating a new one.
Create Team.
And one choice is to take an existing
Office 365 group that's already collaborating
and make them a team.
That's not what we're going to do this time,
we're going to build the teams from scratch.
There are three types of teams, private teams
where people need permission to join,
public teams where anyone can join,
and an organization-wide team that everyone
is automatically joined to.
So if someone new joins our organization,
they're automatically added to any org-wide team.
I'm going to create a private team,
and the team is going to be called Team HR.
And this is the Human Resources Team
with staff from the HR Department.
That's it.
Click Create, and a private team is now being created.
Little nice work icon.
I can start adding people to this team if I wish.
I'm going to add Griffin Snow to this team
and perhaps some other people later.
Note that within this team, as with the KinetEco team
that already existed, there is already one channel,
and that channel is called General.
Everyone who is a member of this team
is automatically then going to be added
to this General channel, which is where
we would have general conversation.
Team HR has a number of different projects though,
and each of those projects, each of those efforts,
could be a channel of its own.
So I'm going to add a channel to Team HR.
I'm in Team HR and I'm clicking on the More Options button.
Choose Add Channel.
And the channel name that I'm going
to add is Employee Self-Service.
This is a project that we have.
So this is for the Employee Self-Service Project.
And we have two levels of privacy here.
Is this accessible to everyone on the team?
Can everyone who is a member of Team HR participate
in this channel or is there a specific group
of people within the team?
And anyone on the team can, everyone
on Team HR has access, has the ability
to be able to view information,
view documents and so on
in the Employee Self-Service Channel.
If I want to automatically show this channel
in every single person's channel list, I can do that
just like that.
This is turned off by default right now,
but I could choose to say anyone can see this,
but I'm not going to, this is an internal channel
for Team HR, which is a private group, which is why
that checkbox was not enabled.
And there we go.
Employee Self-Service, and General both open
to every member of the team within Team HR.
This is how you create a team, and this is how you create
a channel within a team.
