IT strongly recommends Teams that are created to be set to "Private" to only invited users.
Teams can also be created to be public and open and anyone within the organization can join (up to 10,000 members).
Teams should only be set to "Public" if sensitive files or information are not shared.
How to Edit Teams Privacy Settings

- Under the Privacy dropdown, choose either Private or Public.
- Private: All Teams handling sensitive documents or information to ensure secure access should be set to private.
