How to Join and Leave a Team in Microsoft Teams

Procedure

Joining a Team

Joining a Team is very simple and can be done in one of two ways.  

• On the left side of the program, there is a button labeled Teams that you need to click on.  

• When clicked, it displays all teams you are currently in. On the top right corner of the window, there is a button labeled Join or create a team.  
  • When selected, you are brought to a catalog of teams you are able to join. You can also search for a specific team if you do not see it listed.  

• When hovering over the team, you'll see a button that is labeled Join team. Selecting this button will add you to the team.  

Leaving a Team

• In order to leave a team, you will need to view the team profile on the left of the window.
  • This is usually where you see the different channels that the team has. Next to the team’s name, there are three dots (...). 

• Clicking on those three dots will open a menu. In that menu is an option to Leave team. Pressing this button will remove you from the team.
