How can I find out what type a team is?
When creating a team, you must choose a team type. In our set-up, we have a choice between:
- Class
- Professional Learning Community
- Staff
- Other
How can you see (e.g. when you were invited/added, and did not create the team yourself) what type an existing team has?
- Literally spent two hours looking for this answer. Thank you! The filter shown in Teams GRID view (NOTE: Grid view only as far as I can tell) allows me to see the type of team that was originally created per the question here. Per my organization, options are PLC (Private Learning Community), Staff, and Other. As mentioned earlier in the thread each type of team has different limitations. For me personally, I've been trying all day to figure out why one Team had a Communications page and a means to invite the entire team to a team meeting - sort of the point of a Teams team in my opinion - MS!) and another Team did not. Anyhow, I used the filter to discover that the team type that's working as needed is PLC and the team type that isn't is Staff.
- Thanks for the tip to switch to GRID view, without that, I wouldn't have known how to figure this out. Thanks also to ozTriluck who suggested the filter option in the first place.
- Top right corner. Usually says Private / Public while in a channel in the Team.
In case the Team is a Public it would show as Org Wide in case the Team is Private it would show as Team.

ChrisWebbTech: I meant team type in terms of the distinction between Class, Professional Learning Community, Staff, or Other.
- I believe that the kind of Team created in regards of template being used is not displayed so I'm not aware of an easy way to know the template used to created the Team
- I have the same question. I still can't find an answer. Any clues?
