# Create a team

How to create a team workspace, which plan it needs, and what you enter.

Creating a team needs the Business plan. If your plan does not allow it, **Create team** is not offered. Your plan also limits how many teams you can own. Teams you were invited to do not count toward that limit.

## Create a team on the web

1. Open the workspace menu, which you reach from the workspace name at the top of the sidebar or from the account menu. Select **Create team**.
2. Enter a **Team name**.
3. Check the **Team address**. It is filled in from the team name. You can change it. Use lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens. The address cannot start or end with a hyphen.
4. Select **Create team**.

If the address is taken, Bluedeer suggests other addresses that you can choose instead.

## Create a team on the phone

On the phone, open the workspace switcher and tap **Create new team**. The form has a **Team name** field and a **Workspace address** field. If your plan does not allow teams, the app shows a message that creating a team is available on the Business plan.

## After you create the team

You become the team's owner. The team opens as its own workspace. Before people can join, you need seats: each invitation reserves a seat until it is accepted. Continue with [Buy and assign seats](https://support.bluedeer.ai/team/members-and-seats/buy-and-assign-seats.md), then [Invite people to a team](https://support.bluedeer.ai/team/members-and-seats/invite-people-to-a-team.md).
