You can choose between two privacy settings in Teams – public or private team. This setting controls who can view and join your team. This instructions will show you how to change a public team to a private, or the other way around.  

Two types of privacy for teams

Public team
A public team is available to everyone at Umeå University. This means that when someone searches for teams, they can find your team in a list and join it without your approval. All files and content in a team is searchable for members of a team. Both students and staff can see and join public teams.

Private team
A private team is only available to the people you invite or approve. In most cases, you should choose a private team.
