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 will accept or deny it.

This topic is about adding members who are already a part of your team's organization. If you want to add someone who's not a part of your organization, see Add guests to a team.

Add members to a team

  1. If you're a team owner, go to the team name in the teams list and click More options More options button > Add member.
