Setting up a Team for Student Clubs and Orgs

All student Clubs and Organizations receive a homepage linked from myHill and a Microsoft Team. If you are a student club leader and don't have a Team and homepage set up already, you can sign up for one and then schedule a training session. This article is meant for club leaders who have attended a training session and need to know what they should do next to set up their Team and homepage.  

Home page 

1. Edit the banner if the name isn’t quite right and add a picture to it.
2. Add some text into the “About Us” area.
3. Decide what you want for your featured area (picture, slide show, or YouTube video) and add that.
4. Add some events.
5. Add the leaders at the bottom of the page.
6. Decide whether you want to use some kind of feedback form.
7. Let us know when the home page is ready, and we will create a link to it from myHill.

The Team

1. If you have an older Microsoft Group that the club was using, move any files from that Group to the Files area in the General channel of your Team. Once you have finished moving all your content from the old Group, be sure to delete it so there’s no confusion about where files are being kept.
2. Determine how you’d like to use the Channels and setup additional channels.
3. Determine if and how you’d like to use Tags.

Orienting Team members

1. Decide who the owners will be (they will have the ability to edit the home page and manage the Team) and invite them.
2. Look at the settings for members under the team. You will probably want to deselect many of the default permissions to start with. 
3. Wait until you communicate with members before inviting them, so they know what to expect when the invitation arrives. Have them watch for the invitation in email.
4. Show members how to use the channels, chat, and files.
5. Show members how to set up notifications.
6. Show members the home page and its features.
7. Let them know what the new email address is.
