Microsoft Teams is the default application that many company employees opt for when they are currently working in this work-from-home scenario. To add someone to a Microsoft Teams team, the person needs to accept the invite via email or get imported from a Microsoft 365 group. One can even add a person directly from the active directory services.
For a person to even join a Microsoft Teams team, he/she needs to sign in to Microsoft Teams. Until they sign in with their account, they can’t be a functional part of a team. When an account is first created in Microsoft Teams, an appropriate license is allotted to them, and when they sign with their login credentials following that, they become part of a team. So it is relatively simple to join a team in Microsoft Teams. But how do you leave a team in Microsoft Teams? That is what we will see here in this article. So without further ado, let’s get into it.

How to leave a Microsoft Team?
So once you sign to your account in Microsoft Teams and enter the team code, you become part of the team. But to leave it will mean getting blocked from joining the team again. So if you have decided to leave, make sure there is no need to join again. Yes, you can join in again using an invite link or code, but an active team member needs to send it to you again. This is because sometimes, the older code expires.

A thing to note here is that if you are the team owner, you can’t leave the team.

So if you are the owner, then pick up another team member as the owner and then try the method mentioned above to leave the team right after that.
So as you can see, leaving the Microsoft Teams team is relatively simple, and it only takes a few clicks or taps. If you are worried that you will lose everything shared over in that team, then don’t be. When someone shares a file in Microsoft Teams, it is stored and saved in Sharepoint.
