New Microsoft Teams to be Private by default from 11 May

Last updated: Fri May 1 12:07

To improve security, consistency and data protection across UofG Microsoft 365 systems, all newly created Microsoft Teams will be restricted to Private visibility only from Monday 11 May 2026. 

Private Teams are visible only to Team members and owners, while a Public Team is visible to the whole organisation, staff and students alike. 

You will be able to add members, including external guests as required. If you need to change a Team from Private to Public, you will be able to request a change through UofG Helpdesk.
