Get-Team only returns teams *you* belong to. Yes, it's crappy like that. Wait for a better version :)

If my account is global administrator, it should be able to query *all* teams.  It's kind of useless that it currently queries only teams that I belong to.

    I agree and that has been the biggest headache for us.  How are Global Admins supposed to manage/maintain a system like this "Teams" release that basically promotes anarchy in the default form.  In my opinion MS just wanted to let this monster go and see what happened.  From a compliance perspective if you did not disable Teams within a month of the Release, people started creating their own Teams without understanding what was happening in the back end.  It took me almost a week to figure out where to see how many sites and O365 Groups were created and who created them.

      The Graph API has already been updated to list "non-owned" Teams, the PowerShell module will follow soon.

        Just a quick "assure me question". I am a global admin of tenant. And I cannot with that PowerShell module change Teams picture because of "User does not have permission". I need to be owner of this particular team to get this change. Am I correct? If yes, this does not make a sense to be a global admin...
