Finding Team email without contacting Teams Admin
Hi I wonder if anyone knows a simple way for Teachers to find the email for the Team they create. I know they can click on the 'More actions' ellipse next to a Channel name, but that only sends...
- Hi @CheWigand
Creating a Team creates a Microsoft 365 Group and that group will be provisioned on the default domain of the tenant
So, for example, say my default domain was 'microsoft.com'. Then I create a Team called Teachers. The email address would be 'teachers@microsoft.com'. If I create a Team called 'My Class' the email address would be 'myclass@microsoft.com'
Hope that makes sense. So the email address for a team is generally <teamnamewithoutspaces@defaultdomain.com>
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

Thanks, Chris!
That makes perfect sense. I just have to remind my Users that when they create a class using special characters that those characters are dropped. One of my users created a team using dots and parenthesis - for example T.E.S.T (Great) - the email became great@<mydomain>.
What I'm seeing is that dashes are brought into the email addresses, parenthesis are not, and sometimes the data inside the parenthesis is not part of the email.
Maybe we need to set more stringent naming conventions.
Thank you for your input!

- Absolutely. See here

That should help iron it out. Best of luck!
Best, ChrisThanks again, Chris!
