How to Create SharePoint Team or Communication Site

To create a SharePoint Team or Communication site you can follow the below steps.

From your SharePoint homepage, click on + Create site.

You'll have two options to choose from,

1. Team site
   • Collaborate on projects
   • Read team updates
   • Stay organized with shared calendars and tasks
2. Communication site
   • Share news or information widely
   • Engage a larger audience
   • Use modern, visually appealing layouts
     

Note. This guide focuses on creating a Team site.

Select Team site, then choose a Template. You can always change the template later through Settings.

Enter a Site name and check if it's available.

Note. A Microsoft 365 group is automatically created with your team site, so making a separate email distribution list is unnecessary. Your team can be contacted via the group email.

Enter a Site description, then click Next.

Choose a Privacy level and set a default language for your site. Once ready, click Create Site.

Note. Your admin must have these features enabled to select privacy levels and languages.

You can add more site owners and group members if needed.

When finished, click Finish.
