In Communities in Teams, community owners and members have different capabilities.

  • Members
    Members can participate in the community by sending and responding to messages, sharing links and files, starting meetings, and scheduling community events.

  • Owners
    Communities can have multiple owners. In addition to member capabilities, owners manage community settings and members. They can add and remove members, make members into owners, and update the community description and guidelines.

Note: Member and owner capabilities in Teams are only available for Android and iOS users, learn more about Communities (beta) in Teams on desktop.

The following table explains owner and member capabilities in a community:
