      1 Follow Steps 1–4 in the previous example to create a new team.

      2 When asked, “What type of team will this be?”, instead of selecting the Org-wide option (shown earlier in Figure 3-4), choose Public or Private to create either a new public or private team.When you create a public or private team, you are also presented with a dialog box to invite people to join it just after the team is created, as shown in Figure 3-7.FIGURE 3-7: The dialog box to invite people to your team during the creation process.

      3 Start typing the name of the person you want to invite to the team in the text box. The search functionality automatically looks for and populates the text box based on the letters you are typing. This happens in real time so that you can see the results of your search as you are typing. This is helpful if, for example, you only know the first part of someone’s name, or if you only know that the name starts with a certain letter.

      4 Once you find the correct person, click that person’s name and then click Add.

      5 Continue adding people until you’ve invited all the team members you wish to add.The users will be notified of their new team membership depending on how they have notifications set up. I cover notifications in detail in Chapter 8.

      1 Click the Teams icon in the left navigation pane to see a list of your teams.

      2 Click the ellipsis next to the name of the team you want to invite someone to join.This opens a drop-down menu with more options.

      3 In the drop-down menu that appears, select Add Member, as shown in Figure 3-8.The Add Members dialog box appears that was shown earlier in Figure 3-7. This is the same dialog box that appears when you first create a public or private team.FIGURE 3-8: Adding members to a team already created.

      4 Start typing the name of the person you want to invite to the team in the text box.

      5 Once you find the correct person, click that person’s name and then click Add.The users will be notified of their new team membership depending on how they have notifications set up. I cover notifications in detail in Chapter 8.

       Members: The Members screen is where you add new members to the team. You can add people as members of the team or as guests. A guest user is a user who has access to Teams and can chat with you, but does not have access to the rest of your Office 365 ecosystem. I cover guest user access in detail in Chapter 7.

       Channels: The Channels screen is where you can add a channel. A channel is an area of a team where you can chat about a common topic. For example, you might have a channel for carpooling, a channel for accounting, and a channel for clients. I cover channels in Chapter 4.

       Settings: The Settings screen is where you manage the settings for a team, as shown in Figure 3-10. On the Settings screen you can set the team picture, set the permissions of users including what permissions you want to give to guest users, set how @mentions work (pronounced “at mentions”), get a link to the team that you can share so others can join the team, and other fun stuff such as adding virtual stickers.FIGURE 3-9: The management screen for a team with the Members tab open.FIGURE 3-10: The Settings screen is where you can control team settings. An @mention is when someone uses the @ (“at”) symbol followed by the name of a user in a message. It is essentially tagging the person so that Teams knows who the person is that is being mentioned. When your name is @mentioned, you will get a notification that someone has mentioned your name in a message. This will help you scroll through and find messages that are pertinent to you. I cover mentions and feeds in Chapter 8.

       Apps: The Apps screen is where you can add apps to the team. You can see that some apps are installed by default. You can also add more by clicking the More Apps button. I cover apps in Chapter 5.
