MS Teams - Add or Remove members from a Team

Overview

If you're a team owner, you can add someone to a team. If you're not a team owner, you can submit a request and the team owner can then accept or deny it.

This topic is about adding members who are already a part of your team's org. If you want to add someone who's not a part of your org, please reach out to HelpDesk for further assistance.

Add members to a team

For the latest limit on team sizes, see Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams.

Note: If you're a global admin, consider creating an org-wide team that automatically adds everyone in your organization.

If you're a team owner, go to the team name in the teams list and click More options > Add member.
Start by typing a name, distribution list, security group, or a Microsoft 365 group. You can also add people outside your org as guests by typing their email addresses.
When you're done adding members, select Add. You can make someone a team owner by selecting the down arrow next to Member. A team can have multiple owners.
Select Close. People that you add to a team will receive an email letting them know they are now a member and the team will appear in their teams list.

Remove members of a team

If you're a team owner, you can remove someone from your team.

Next to the team name select More options > Manage team > Members.
From the team member list, select the X to the far right of the name of the person you'd like to remove.

To remove another team owner, first change their role from owner to member, then remove them.

After you remove someone from a team, you can always add them back to the team later on by selecting Add member.
