Microsoft Teams clone a team

Use the Microsoft Teams clone a team action to create a copy of an existing team based on settings you specify. The same data, channels, and settings of an existing team is leveraged to create a new team. You must set a new name for the cloned team.

For example, your company hosts a yearly event called "Annual Demo for Service Engineers" for 85 members and the organizer uses Microsoft Teams to centralize communication, view calendars, and pull/ share Office 365 files. You want to copy last year's team as a template for the same purpose this year. Instead of creating a new team and add 85 members manually, you can use the Microsoft Teams clone a team action to clone the existing team and select to include apps, channels, members, settings, and tabs.

Note: This is an external action and may execute on servers running outside your data center region. Before implementing, consider performance and regional concerns where digital boundaries are an issue. For more information, see In-tenant and external actions.
