Joining Teams

Help Center > Articles > Teams

Overview

Joining a team is a great way to stay on top of what's happening in that team and receive real-time notifications for messages posted to the team. Whether you can join a particular team depends on your membership in the organization and the privacy level of that team.

Guests can only view content that was specifically shared with them so joining teams is strictly by invitation only.

Members, on the other hand, have more flexibility. Members can view and join any Open Team, they can view and request to join any Protected team, but they must be invited to a Private Team.

Members can view the list of Teams available to join in two ways:

1. Members can click the 'There are X more teams to join' at the bottom of the Teams panel.
2. Members can click the search button (magnifying glass icon) at the top of the Teams panel.

Joining an Open or Protected Team

1. From the left-hand dock, select Teams and click on one of the options above to open and view the full list of teams.
2. Click on JOIN to join an Open Team or click on REQUEST TO JOIN to request to join a Protected Team.
