Your GBFHT Microsoft Team

A Microsoft Team has been created for your GBFHT department. This is to be used as your dedicated workspace to collaborate with each other. You can create teams within your group, use an existing team as a template, or connect an existing Outlook group to a Microsoft Teams through self-service on the web, desktop client or mobile app. 

Understand Privacy settings
The default privacy setting for a team is private. 

Characteristics of a private team

  • People who want to join a private team have to be approved by a team owner.
  • Content in a private team can only be seen by the members of the team.
  • Team owners can also create a link or a code for joining a team to facilitate passively adding members or can use an existing security group to add large number of members (e.g. department, business unit).
