When creating a new team, you have the option of adding members right then, or you can add them at a later date. If you add them later, Microsoft Teams has made the process fast and easy. It should be noted that adding members to a Team is not limited to your organization; you can also add individuals outside of the organization as guests.
Team owners can easily add someone to a team. If you're not a team owner, you can submit a request, and the team owner can then accept or deny it.

Add a Member
- Select the Teams icon in your left-hand menu.
- Select the ellipsis (…) to the right of the Team's name or the ellipsis in the upper right corner of the Team’s card.
- Select Add Member.
- Begin typing the person's name, NetID, or email. (If you add someone outside your organization, enter their email address.)
- Click Add. If you are a team member rather than the owner, you will select Send Request, and the request will be sent to the owner for approval. If you are the Owner of the team, the individual will be added immediately.
Remove a Member
An Owner can remove any Member or Guest by clicking the Ellipses (...) next to the team name, choosing Manage Team, clicking Members, and clicking the X beside the member to remove.
Manage Your Team
Manage new or existing member's permissions from within the Manage Team option. Click the ellipsis (…) menu and then select Manage Team. From this option, you can add members, add a channel, leave the team, manage tags, or delete the team.
Changing Roles
Owners can also elevate a member to owner from Manage Team by clicking the Member and choosing Owner.
