Understanding public and private teams

When creating a new team, you have the option to make it public or private, but before making that decision you need to be aware of the differences between both types.

A public team is discoverable to all members of an organization and is listed in the Teams gallery.

A public team scenario—Peter the office manager

Peter is responsible for managing the company office in Portugal. To do it better and to communicate with others, Peter has created a new team for the office where he posts everything related to it. Anyone working in Portugal or visiting the office can join the team to access things such as the location and working hours, or simply to ask Peter or any of the other office members something.

A private team can be discoverable or non-discoverable. Also, to be a member of a team, you need to either be approved or added to the team. If the team is discoverable, you can request to join it; if it's non-discoverable, a team owner needs to add you.

A private team scenario—company managers

The HANDS ON tek company has a private team for all company managers where new acquisitions are discussed. The information in this team is private and must not be discovered by any user. Every time a new manager is hired or promoted, they are added to the team by one of the owners.

Keep in mind the two scenarios described in this section every time you have doubts about what type of team you should create.

In the next section, we will learn what guest users on Microsoft Teams are and how they are related to the public and private concepts.
