Request a new Team

To request a new Team be created in Microsoft Teams you can now use the Request-a-Team option. The service team will review requests and respond within one business day. If your request is rejected, you will receive an in-app chat card notification from "Flow", detailing the reason for this decision.

Steps to Request a New Team

1.  Once inside the Microsoft Teams app, locate the navigation bar, and select the Request-a-Team option.
   • If you do not see this, you may need to select “more options” to view this. 
2. This new process allows you to request either a standard team, or to choose from one of several template styles if you have additional needs.
   • An example of a template style is the Classroom style, which enables assignment and grading capabilities.
3. When completing the form details, after selecting a name for your team, you must select Check Availability before the Next option becomes available to select.
4. All teams requests require two owners.
   • When completing this part of the form, search for Yale colleagues in this format: last name, firs name
5. The service team will review requests and respond within one business day.
