Create a team site in SharePoint Online

SharePoint Online

Lesson 2/12

Learn how to create a new team site for group collaboration in SharePoint Online.

Notes

Remember from Lesson 1:

“Team sites are intended for smaller, more focused groups working within a shared interest area. Team sites are built on Microsoft 365 groups and give members edit access by default making it easy to get up and running as a team collaborating on documents, lists, and more in no time. Common team site scenarios are project teams, committees, intra-departmental collaboration and news, etc.”

Creating a team site creates a Microsoft 365 group which comes with a number of other resources including a shared mailbox and calendar.

Any team created in Microsoft Teams will also create a SharePoint team site in the background to support its files.
