Adding Microsoft Teams to an existing workspace

If you are using an Atlas workspace which does not have a Microsoft Team associated to it, Microsoft have allowed the ability to add a Microsoft Team at any point after the workspace has been provisioned.

Pre-requites

Global or SharePoint administrators permission are required.

To add a Teams

1. Access your Microsoft 365 admin centre (https://admin.microsoft.com/)

2. Expand Teams and Groups

 3. Select Active teams & groups

4. Select the site you would like to add a Team too

5. Once this group detail is open you should see a message that will allow you to Add Teams

Once added the workspace will display a Teams icon and appear for the members and owners of the workspace. All of the usual Teams configuration and OOTB Microsoft Teams templates will apply - we cannot use an Atlas Teams template as we are not in control of this creation process, so you will need to make any specific configuration changes afterwards. Remember that Visitors (read only) users who have permission to the workspace will NOT see the Team, they can only view the SharePoint site.

If you need any assistance following these instructions please get in touch with your Atlas representative today.
