Managing your teams in the <var class="keyword">

RingCentral
</div></var> app
============================================================================================================

Teams are used to communicate with a group of people, from connecting with co-workers in your department to collaborating on a project with others in your company.

Teams are either public or private. For public teams, [anyone can join](https://support.ringcentral.com/article-v2/Joining-a-team-in-the-RingCentral-app.html?brand=RingCentral&product=RingEX&language=en_US ""); private teams require an invitation from a current member.

If you've [created a team](https://support.ringcentral.com/article-v2/Creating-a-new-team-in-the-RingCentral-app.html?brand=RingCentral&product=RingEX&language=en_US ""), you're the admin and can [assign other members](https://support.ringcentral.com/article-v2/Assigning-a-team-member-as-an-admin.html?brand=RingCentral&product=RingEX&language=en_US "") to manage the team.

Where do you want to manage your teams?
