Create a Team that users in our system could opt in or out of

Jim@rpi

Level 1

In Webex Teams, as system admin for our site, can i create a Team that allows anyone in our system to get access to?

 

An example, we create a team called Classroom Technology, any faculty staff or student could login/join and ask a question, post a comment, make a recommendation, bitch about something, whatever..

Jim@rpi, I tested your requirement using Eurl bot and it works fine. Add the Eurl bot (eurl@sparkbot.io) as a member to the Team > General space. The bot will generate a message with URL like this one:

"Only users in the domain(s) example.com can request to join this space using https://eurl.io/#CspsVkD. Make me a moderator if you want me to add them for you".

  • Make this bot as a Moderator of this team to add users automatically to the General space.
  • Post the URL https://eurl.io/#CspsVkD on help desk page.

I added Eurl as a member to my space but the option to "Add as a moderator" is greyed out. So people cannot automatically join this new space.

Hi,

To create a group called "Team" in Webex Teams, you don't need to be a system admin. As a Webex Teams user, you can create a Team and you become it's moderator. You can add other users as a moderator too. When you're added to a team, you’re automatically added to the team’s General space, and you can view or join any space in the team.

As  a moderator, you can add up to 5000 members in a Team. If member is not part of the team then they won't be able to join any spaces in this team. Member must be added by Moderator.

i understand the basics of creating a Team and all that. The question is,  is there a way to do this without having to manually add every faculty/staff and student on campus to the Team?

 

maybe post the link on the help desk page that allows them to get into the Team > General space?

 

Or is it as simple as open the desktop app go to Space and search for the space i created called Classroom Technology and anyone could get in? or request to be in?

That worked!

A  follow up question, is there anyway to turn off any of the features in the Space? e.g. Video Conferencing and Schedule 

 

Jim@rpi When people help you on the forum be polite, be grateful, show appreciation and help others by rating the post. 

Be a gentleman, rate first before asking more questions..

Please rate all useful posts

--EDITED--

 

I don't think it is possible to turn off those features at space level.
