When you create a team from an existing Microsoft 365 group, you'll automatically share the same group privacy (public or private) and members as the original group.

  • Your org can restrict who can create teams. If you can't create a team or need to turn off team creation, check with your IT admin.

  1. Choose Teams Teams icon on the left side of the app, then select Create and join teams and channels Planner add task icon at the top of your teams list.

Notes: 

  • This option is not available for groups that have more than 10,000 members or that were already used to create another team.

  • Groups created through Yammer can't be converted to a team.

What to do next 

As the creator of the team, you're the owner. Invite people to your team and manage team settings and permissions. For more info about roles and permissions, see Team owner, member, or guest capabilities in Teams.
