I might be a little slow, but it took me a fair while to figure out how to change an existing Microsoft Teams team to an org-wide team, so I thought I would share the process. This process can be used to change the team privacy settings in general. The options are:
- Org-wide – Everyone in your organization will be automatically added
- Private – Only team owners can add members
- Public – Anyone in your organisation can join
Pre-req’s:
- Only Global Admins can create org-wide teams
- The Global Admin will need to be a team owner
Once you’ve got that sorted find the team you want to convert. Select the “…” menu, then “Edit team”:
Select “Org-wide – Everyone in your organization will be automatically added” from the privacy options menu:
That was pretty easy right! I think I am slow…
