Use general team templates in the admin center
Overview
Team templates in Microsoft Teams allow you to quickly and easily create teams by providing a predefined team structure of settings, channels, and pre-installed apps.
Use team templates to deploy consistent teams across your organization. Templates can also help users get oriented with how to effectively use Teams.
Teams includes pre-built templates that we created for specific business needs and projects. In this article, we introduce you to the general category of templates that you can use in your organization for various scenarios.
To learn more about team templates in general, see Get started with team templates in the Teams admin center.
Note
An asterisk (*) indicates that the template is a Microsoft 365 connected template. When users create a team using the template, the connected SharePoint template is applied to the site and the team. SharePoint components such as pages, lists, and Power Platform integrations are automatically added and pinned as tabs to the General channel in the team. Users can edit these pages and lists right from within Teams.
To learn more about SharePoint templates, see Apply and customize SharePoint site templates.
