Class teams have unique permissions and features for teachers and students. As owners of the team, teachers assign work, share class content, start meetings, and control who can post in the team. Each class team is also linked to its own OneNote Class Notebook.Â
Note:Â Not seeing an option to Join or create a team? Your IT Admin may need to turn on these permissions for you.

Create a team from a group or team
You can set up classes using groups pre-made by your IT Admin. Check with them if you're not sure how they've configured your classes.
-
Select TeamsÂ
-
Hover over the Join or create a team tile and select Create team.
-
Choose whether to create a team from an existing team or an existing group
-
Choose another team or group
-
Copy apps, settings, channels and members to your new team. Your existing team remains unchanged
-
When creating from groups, your students will be automatically added to your team, but it won't be visible to them yet. This gives you time to get organized, add content, and prepare before they are admitted. Select the Activate banner at the top of Teams to welcome them to the class whenever you're ready.
Creating a team from scratch means that you will be adding students to the team yourself, as well as any other identifying details. Contact your IT Admin if you'd like to explore other options for class set-up.
