Microsoft Teams: Simplified team creation

Originally posted by Microsoft Dec 12, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Today, users go through multiple steps, selecting between options while creating teams. However, most users are inclined towards setting up their team from scratch and as private. Hence, we defaulted to a simpler experience, yet giving users the rich options of creating a team from a template or group and selecting privacy/sensitivity of the team. It is a simple by default, power on demand experience.
