# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you don't have an existing Microsoft 365 group or team, you're starting with a clean slate, and you get to choose how your team is organized and set up.

2. Then click Create team (first card, top left corner).

5. Name your team and add an optional description.

6. When you're done, click Create.

What to do next

As the creator of the team, you are the owner. Invite people to your team and create some channels. For a deeper look at roles and permissions, see Team owner, member, and guest capabilities in Teams.

Feel free to create more teams-you can own up to 250 teams simultaneously per account.

1. Tap Teams at the bottom of the app, then in the top right corner. This will bring you to the Manage teams page.

2. Tap + to create a new team
