Custom billing format for teams

[Music] hello this is greg from sharepointmaven and in today's video i would like to show you how you can create custom themes templates for your organization uh let me first explain to you what i'm talking about so as your users create new teams and microsoft teams they have different ways of creating a team of calls they can create one from scratch they can create one from an existing group or team they can also create one from a template now all of these templates were created by microsoft essentially this are microsoft templates that are kind of available to all the users and the template is nothing more uh than just a collection of channels and apps you know that already kind of provisioned for you uh normally when you create a new brand new team you of course need you know users need to create their own channels and apps and tabs with you know if they choose the template um it's already done for them so depending on the template you choose you get a different mix of channels and apps so for example i have chosen manager project template and i have a selection of all these channels and apps if i choose let's say another type of template i get a very different mix of apps and channels um with that being said uh if you have access to teams admin center you can actually create your own custom template and have it available to your users let me show you how to do that so obviously again you do need to be the admin of uh you know microsoft teams at least um so in order to obviously create uh you know global templates uh so let's navigate to the team's admin center this is not obviously the area where regular users will have access to so i'm in microsoft teams admin center on the teams team templates this is where you get to see a list of available templates and again you know this is the same list you saw previously obviously uh this happens to be reside and this is kind of in the back end residing uh within the team's admin center and you can actually uh in tweaking each and every template i recommend you know don't touch any of this you know existing ones just go ahead and create uh your own custom one for your organization uh when you hit um you know add a new template button um there are actually three ways for you to create a template you can create one from scratch um you in which case you will need to add all the channels and tabs manually you can pick an existing theme uh that you already have maybe you own and uh or others own and um in that case um you can pretty much kind of templatize it if you will uh or you can choose one of the microsoft templates and customize it further all right i kind of recommend you know either option two or three i think if you start with option number one it's going to take you a while you know to build that i always recommend starting from kind of existing you know maybe team existing template um and tweaking it further uh let's do that let's do just that so i'm going to um use the third option and this is where you get to choose which template you're going to tweak so let's just say we want to tweak this one all right and this is where you give it a name for your template make sure uh it is going to be it is going to be something obvious to your users so they kind of understand what the template will do you can provide description and everything hit next and this is where you customize it all right this is where you customize it um this is where you customize the channels uh this is where you customize the applications you know the tabs you want your team to have um so let's just say you know for the purpose of this demonstration i'm going to get rid of this channel we don't need it uh and maybe you know here we are going to remove this right here all right this application of course you can create your own channels here um you know add your own tabs you know applications um as well um let's not worry about it hit submit that's all that's all you have to do and essentially here is our template that we just created so i'm back in microsoft teams let's make sure now that the template is available by the way it might take some time for it to kind of propagate but let's see if we have it available so i'm going to create a new team and here we go look at this all right again these are all microsoft templates but this is the custom one that we just created and of course if i choose it um it will provision whatever channels whatever tabs whatever applications we are configured uh that particular you know template uh to have all right so that's all i wanted to show you uh in this quick video hopefully you learned a new trick as always happy to see on my blog sharepointmavent.com as well as my youtube channel thank you very much and have a great rest of the day goodbye
