Otherwise, go with “Build a team from scratch.” Step 4: Next, define who’s part of the Team. Make your choice based on how you want to organize your platform: • Private: If the team should only have a few specific members, select Private. • Public: Best for teams with changing members. • Org-Wide: If you want to host your entire organization as one “team” on the platform and use channels to divide departments, Org-wide is the ideal option. Step 5: Once you’ve chosen the type of team you want to create, you need to give it a name. Choose an appropriate team name, like “Marketing” or “Social Media”, and then click the “Create” button at the bottom right.
