Disabling users from creating teams
We're looking to implement the use of Teams throughout our business, and I am tasked to look into disabling the ability for users to create teams. I've seen different answer while searching for a solution, but I'm looking for the best/most suggested one. I cannot seem to find just a switch in the admin portal for teams that allows me to turn it off.
I've noticed quite a few articles suggest on turning off the ability for users to create groups, are groups and teams the same thing? I'm still new to this field, so I am looking to get solid information.
Thanks!

Restrict the creation of Office 365 Groups with a security group and powershell script - this prohibits the creation of Teams by anyone who isn't in the security group.More on the relationship between Microsoft Teams and Office 365 Groups can be found in this article
