Set up Microsoft Teams to work with tenant users

To work with the education API in Microsoft Graph, you need to set up Microsoft Teams and create a team. If you set up School Data Sync, you might already have teams set up in your demo environment. To create more teams manually, follow the steps in this article, using a teacher or admin account in your EDU demo tenant.

Install Microsoft Teams

To install Microsoft Teams, open a private browser window and go to teams.microsoft.com/download, or go to teams.microsoft.com to sign in online.

When prompted by the installer, sign in with your Office 365 Global Admin account credentials.

After the installation finishes, complete the welcome wizard.

Create a team

To create a team:

1. On the left menu, choose Teams, and then choose Create team. If you already have a team, on the top right, choose Join or create a team, and then choose Create team.

2. For the team type, select Class. Note that you will only see this choice if you are signed in to an EDU tenant.

3. Enter a name for your team.

4. Add students to the team. In the search box, start typing a name, select a result, and choose Add. Repeat this step for each student and teacher in the class.

   

You have successfully created your team.
