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.

  1. Choose Teams Teams icon  on the left side of the app, then select Join or create a team Join or create a team  at the bottom of your teams list.

  2. Hover over the Create Team card and select  Join or create a team  Create team.

  3. Select Create from a group or team and then choose Microsoft 365 group.

    You’ll see a list of groups that you currently own, don't already have a team associated, and have less than 10,000 members.

  4. Select a group and a team with the same name will be created automatically. The team will share the same group privacy (public or private) and members as the original group.
