Change Default Teams by Group

Currently, whenever we add users to our Office 365, they are automatically added to a default group within Teams, is there a way for us to override this behavior?

The desired outcome would be that users are assigned to a different default teams channel based on email address or, no team is added by default.

 

Thanks.

  • Hi, what you're describing is the org-wide teams that is automatically created and pulls all users in the org. automatically.

    "We'll automatically create an organization-wide team for your organization if your organization is new to Teams and has no more than 5,000 users. The team name will reflect the tenant name and will have a General channel. Global admins can edit this team like any other team."

        jcgonzalezmartinso what you are saying is that, if I do not want users to be added into the group again, I have to delete the group?
