00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:02,006
- [Instructor] In addition to creating a team from scratch,

2
00:00:02,006 --> 00:00:06,004
you can create a team from an existing Office 365 group.

3
00:00:06,004 --> 00:00:08,000
A likely reason to do this

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
would be that you've been using Office 365 Groups

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,008
for collaboration, and now you are moving to Teams.

6
00:00:14,008 --> 00:00:17,009
And you've decided as part of the transition

7
00:00:17,009 --> 00:00:23,000
to take some or even all of your Office 365 groups

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,007
and port them over so that they are in Teams.

9
00:00:26,007 --> 00:00:30,000
To do this we choose Create or Join a team.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,005
In Teams, Create team

11
00:00:31,005 --> 00:00:34,000
and then rather than choosing to build from scratch,

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,001
we click Create from.

13
00:00:36,001 --> 00:00:39,008
And we can create a team from an existing team,

14
00:00:39,008 --> 00:00:43,003
or create a team from an Office 365 Group.

15
00:00:43,003 --> 00:00:46,005
Creating a team from a team is usually part of cleanup.

16
00:00:46,005 --> 00:00:49,001
We can create a team from an Office 365 Group

17
00:00:49,001 --> 00:00:51,007
as long as two things are true,

18
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:54,007
the Office 365 Group hasn't been used already

19
00:00:54,007 --> 00:00:56,001
to create a team,

20
00:00:56,001 --> 00:00:59,009
and there are not more than 5,000 members to this group.

21
00:00:59,009 --> 00:01:03,007
The Office 365 Group that I want to add to teams

22
00:01:03,007 --> 00:01:07,004
is Service-to-Sales.

23
00:01:07,004 --> 00:01:09,004
I simply select it from my list

24
00:01:09,004 --> 00:01:13,003
of existing Office 365 Groups and click Create.

25
00:01:13,003 --> 00:01:16,007
Note that the group has already been added,

26
00:01:16,007 --> 00:01:19,007
and it has a General channel here in Teams.

27
00:01:19,007 --> 00:01:23,004
This works for groups that were created in SharePoint Online

28
00:01:23,004 --> 00:01:24,002
or in Outlook.

29
00:01:24,002 --> 00:01:26,005
This does not work at this time

30
00:01:26,005 --> 00:01:28,009
for groups that were created in Yammer.

31
00:01:28,009 --> 00:01:33,007
But in SharePoint, where this group was originally created,

32
00:01:33,007 --> 00:01:35,009
if I choose Service-to-Sales,

33
00:01:35,009 --> 00:01:40,001
this group is still here in SharePoint as well.

34
00:01:40,001 --> 00:01:43,004
By creating this group also as a team,

35
00:01:43,004 --> 00:01:47,006
we have access to all of the benefits of having a team

36
00:01:47,006 --> 00:01:50,005
for the group that already existed

37
00:01:50,005 --> 00:01:52,008
in Office 365 in SharePoint.
