Set up the Home Page

In this article, you'll see how to set up the Home Page in your Microsoft Teams environment:

Employees will get a home page that gathers all the Teams she/he belongs to, and where they can create teams based on templates made available by your organization.

You can make this homepage available to everyone in your organization or just certain groups of people.
Note

To complete these steps, you MUST be a Microsoft Teams Administrator or a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator.
