New O365 Tenancies are automatically creating Org-Wide team in MS Teams

[Andrew O'Young]

Hey Teams Fam!

I have recently spun up a couple of new tenancies and have found that an Org-Wide team is created by itself.

Is this something new by design?

Hi!

If this is free Teams so yes, this is normal

Well it is Teams that is part of M365 Business (NFP) and M365 E3 in these cases.

Oh this went under the radar:

Automatic creation of an org-wide team
Streamline the process of bringing everyone together in your small to medium-sized business. All new tenants with 5000 users or fewer will start with an org-wide team.

I think it was presented in public for the first time yesterday here.

So earlier a Org-Wide Team was created automatic in Teams freemium but now also in smaller payed tenants.
