In Microsoft Teams, teams are groups of people brought together for work, projects, or common interests.

Benefits:

• Self-service - create your own team in minutes
• Easily manage settings for your team

Further guidance to consider before creating a team can be found on the IT Services website, this includes:

• Loughborough University naming conventions. Prefix your team name with a school, department, programme, project or similar short code: e.g. ITS-Project X
• Team types. Loughborough University commonly uses Class type teams for teaching and Other for all other cases. Once a team is created this cannot be changed.
• Your responsibilities as a team owner

Note: Module Teams are automatically created and updated based on a data feed from Loughborough University Student Information so care should be taken if using module codes in team names

The IT Services website has a dedicated Microsoft Teams section to guide you through setting up a team, for further support please contact the IT Service Desk.
