If you want more people to join and be active in your Microsoft Teams (free) community, you can add a community website. This will give you an opportunity to showcase your community's values, activities, and goals. The community link will help new and current members learn all about your community and what it's all about. It's super easy to do, too!
Note: Add a community website link is only available for Android and iOS users.
To add, edit, or manage a community website link, you must be an owner of the community.
Different ways to use a community website link
When you add a community website link it appears front and center on the community join screen. It also shows in the community's dashboard or settings. That way, community members can easily find it. Here are some different ways adding a community website link can strengthen a community.
-
Encourage belonging and strengthen branding: Provide a community website link to a website, where members can learn more about the community and its values. This improves how the community is seen online. It brings together the community's online resources and experiences. This makes it easier for people in the community to find and use these resources.
-
Enhance community experience: Set up a community website link to a website, where members can get information on the community's mission, projects, and impact. The community is more visible online and brings together its resources. This way, members can easily stay informed and take part in the activities.
