5. 
   Once you have chosen your team type it is time to give your team a Name and a Description (you can change either or both afterwards).  You can also choose if your new Team will be a Private team or a Public team. We always recommend that ypu create a Private team. This team will be the center for your collaboration.  In every team you can later create different channels for more detailed work.
