Teams make it easier to organize users, collaborate on shared content, and manage access at scale. Whether you’re managing academic departments, company units, or cross-functional groups, teams give you a flexible structure for group collaboration.
With teams, you can assign leaders, share folders, manage permissions, and streamline reporting for groups of users.
Creating a team
To create a team, go to Teams on the left-hand side of your account.
From there:
Give your team a name that reflects the group’s purpose, such as “Biology 101 Instructors” or “Marketing Q3 Project”
Optionally, add a description to clarify the team’s focus or use case
Assign a team leader to manage users and content within that team
Add members to the team from your organization
Set the appropriate permissions for team-wide content access and management
Once saved, your team will appear in the list of active teams within your organization.
What can teams do?
Teams help organize users and content for better collaboration. When a team is created, you unlock access to the following features:
Shared folders for centralized content management
Team templates that can be reused across multiple presenters
Collective reporting so all team data is accessible in one place
Group-level permissions for sharing polls and activities
Team-level analytics to monitor participation and performance
These tools make it easier for instructors, training groups, or company departments to work together while keeping content secure and organized.
Structuring teams in your organization
You can use teams to mirror your organization’s structure or project workflows. Common examples include:
Departments (like “English Faculty” or “Sales Team”)
Sub-teams within a larger group
Courses or sections across a shared curriculum
Cross-functional project teams
Each team can have its own folder structure, leader, and permissions to support the way your group works.
Managing access and permissions
Team content can be shared at different levels depending on your needs. You can choose to keep content:
Private (only visible to the owner)
Shared with a specific team
Visible across the entire organization
Publicly accessible (for open participation)
Available for a limited time (for short-term events or one-time presentations)
Setting these permissions helps you balance collaboration with security, ensuring the right users have the right access.
