How do I add an employee to Microsoft Teams?

Dear Gary Graham2,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

Could you please specify if you need help with adding a new user to Microsoft Teams so they can start using it, or if you need to add an existing internal user to a specific Team within Microsoft Teams?

If you want to add an employee to Microsoft Teams, this is straightforward, Add members to a team in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support [8007-dd4a-35c-f90e]:

1. Go to the team where you want to add the employee > Click on the three dots (More options) next to the team name > Choose "Add member." > Start typing the employee's name, email address, or a distribution list. You can also add people outside your organization as guests by typing their email addresses > Once you've added the necessary details, click "Add."

You can also make someone a team owner by selecting the down arrow next to "Member" and choosing "Owner".

If you need to add a new employee to Microsoft 365 first, you can follow these steps, Add a new employee to Microsoft 365 - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn:

1. Set up an account for the new employee > Give the employee their user ID and password > Instruct the employee to sign in at Home | Microsoft 365.
2. Help the employee get started with Microsoft 365 apps and services.
