Create a team in Microsoft Teams from a template. The video walks through opening the create team window, choosing From template, and selecting a template like Manage project.

00:00:09

A template saves time.

00:00:11

Instead of creating the entire structure manually,

00:00:14

teams can automatically prepare channels and tools tailored to a specific need,

00:00:19

such as managing a project,

00:00:21

organizing an event,

00:00:23

or on boarding new employees.

00:00:25

To get started,

00:00:27

open the create team window.

00:00:29

By default,

00:00:30

Teams offers to create a team from scratch.

00:00:33

If you want to use a different creation method,

00:00:36

click more create team options.

00:00:39

A new page appears.

00:00:41

On the left,

00:00:42

several choices are offered.

00:00:44

The from template option allows you to create

00:00:47

a team from an already prepared structure.

00:00:50

The option from another team allows you to copy the structure of an existing team,

00:00:56

such as its channels,

00:00:57

apps,

00:00:57

or certain settings.

00:00:59

The from group option allows you to add teams to an existing Microsoft

00:01:04

365 group.

00:01:07

In this tutorial,

00:01:08

we'll use the from template option.

00:01:11

In the center of the screen,

00:01:12

Teams displays several available templates.

00:01:16

For example,

00:01:16

you can choose manage a project,

00:01:19

manage an event,

00:01:20

onboard employees,

00:01:22

or other templates depending on your organization's needs.

00:01:26

Click on the template that best suits your situation.

00:01:29

Here we take the example of the manage project template

00:01:33

a preview window opens.

00:01:35

It indicates what the template will automatically create.

00:01:39

In this example,

00:01:40

the template offers multiple channels such as general

00:01:44

announcements,

00:01:45

planning,

00:01:45

and resources.

00:01:47

It also offers several applications such as approvals,

00:01:50

lists,

00:01:51

issue tracker,

00:01:53

project tracker,

00:01:54

milestones,

00:01:55

OneNote,

00:01:56

planner,

00:01:57

SharePoint pages,

00:01:58

our site,

00:01:59

and workflows.

00:02:01

This step simply allows you to check if the model meets your needs.

00:02:04

If so,

00:02:05

click use this template.

00:02:08

Teams then returns to the team creation window,

00:02:11

fill in the team name,

00:02:13

then add a description if necessary.

00:02:15

Also check the type of team

00:02:18

in the example shown,

00:02:19

the team is set to private,

00:02:21

which means that only people who are added or invited will be able to access it.

00:02:26

Since the template already contains multiple channels.

00:02:29

Teams also displays the customized channels option.

00:02:33

Click on it if you wanna rename some channels before the team was created.

00:02:37

The customized channels window opens.

00:02:40

You can then change the names of the channels offered by the template.

00:02:44

For example,

00:02:45

you can keep general and then adapt the announcements,

00:02:49

resources,

00:02:49

or planning channels to suit your project.

00:02:52

When you're done editing,

00:02:53

click done.

00:02:54

When everything is ready,

00:02:56

click create.

00:02:57

Teams then starts creating the team.

00:03:00

A message indicates that the creation is in progress.

00:03:04

You can stay on the screen to add members

00:03:06

afterwards or close the window and add them later.

00:03:10

Once the team is created,

00:03:11

it appears in the list of teams on the left side of the screen.

00:03:15

In the example we find the test 2 team

00:03:19

with its main channel general,

00:03:21

a see all channels link allows you to see the other channels created by the model.

00:03:26

When you open this list,

00:03:28

Teams displays the different channels available.

00:03:31

Some can be displayed directly,

00:03:34

others can be hidden.

00:03:35

You can click show to bring up a channel in your list.

00:03:39

Finally,

00:03:39

open the general channel to see the structure created by the model

00:03:44

at the top of the channel you will find several tabs,

00:03:47

for example,

00:03:49

conversation,

00:03:50

shared

00:03:51

page notes,

00:03:53

issue tracker.

00:03:55

These tabs give access to spaces or tools already prepared by the model.

00:04:00

You now know how to create a team's team from a template.

00:04:04

Templates are useful for getting started

00:04:06

quickly with an organization already ready.

00:04:09

You can then tailor the channels,

00:04:11

display what you need,

00:04:13

and use the tabs that are most useful for your project.
